LAFAYETTE, La. (KLFY) -- A Lafayette pepper grower is featured in a new Hulu TV series coming out on Monday Jan. 22.

Troy "Primo" Primeaux, known around the pepper world for creating one of the hottest peppers, will be featured in Hulu's new tv series called Superhot: The Spicy World of Pepper People. The series is set to release all 10 episodes on Monday, Jan. 22. Primeaux can be seen multiple times in the series' official trailer here.

Described as a deep dive into the world of hot peppers, the series follows "chili heads" in pursuit of finding and growing some of the world's hottest peppers. Lafayette's very own Troy Primeaux is heavily featured in the tv series, having risen to prominence among the pepper world for his creation of the 7 Pot Primo, arguably the hottest pepper and hot sauce in the world.

Although the series is spread across many cities in the U.S., Lafayette is prominently featured with filming having taken place at many locations around Lafayette. Locations in Lafayette that can be seen in the series include many of Primeaux's facilities used for his pepper business, as well as places like Champagnes Market, Wild Child Wines Shop, and areas of Lake Martin.

While working at the UL's Horticulture Department in 2005, Primeaux developed his now famous 7 Pot Primo pepper. Said to have an average score of 1.5 million scoville, the 7 Pot Primo pepper is 300 times hotter than a Jalapeno pepper. In combination with his pepper, Primeaux has also developed many sought after hot sauces including the Swampadelic Sauce, Primonition and The Primo Army™ Sauce.

To see Primeaux and the Superhot: The Spicy World of Pepper People, tune into Hulu on Monday to dive into the world of hot peppers. If you would like to learn more about Primeaux and his products you can find more information here.
