Alaskan Killer Bigfoot is an American television series on Discovery+. It premiered December 7, 2021. The series follows a team of five men: Keith Seville, Noah Craig, DJ Brewster, and Kyle McDowell as they explore Portlock, Alaska, an uninhabited town in which natives were allegedly driven from over 70 years ago by a creature called Nantinaq.[1][disputed – discuss]
The town of Portlock, Alaska, was established in the 19th century as a cannery,[2] particularly for salmon. However, in the 1940s, Portlock became a ghost town, as a terrifying bigfoot-like creature known as Nantinaq chased all the villagers out.[3] Over the course of the series, a team of five men: Keith Seville, Noah Craig, DJ Brewster, and Kyle McDowell camped out around Portlock[disputed – discuss] and the Port Chatham area looking for Nantinaq.[4] During the exploration, the team is assisted by Portlock descendants Tommy Evans and Frank “Guy” Berestoff.[5]
