The Buried Life is a reality documentary series on MTV.[1] The series features Duncan Penn, Jonnie Penn, Ben Nemtin, and Dave Lingwood attempting to complete a list of "100 things to do before you die." The pilot episode aired on January 18, 2010, and the show was renewed for a second season in 2010. On October 25, 2011, The Buried Life announced they wouldn't be doing any more episodes of the show.[2] Shortly after their show's cancellation, the creators said they were working on a "new and improved" show for the network based on the premise of the original series.[3] No new details on a new series have since been released.
