Director: Adam McClaughry
Jason Momoa trades blockbuster sets for backroads in "On the Roam," a documentary series that follows him from workshop to workshop across the United States.
What is On the Roam about?
Rather than chasing celebrity profiles, the show hands the microphone to makers: welders who turn scrap into motorcycles, luthiers building instruments by hand, climbers and skaters who treat their sport like a craft passed down rather than a trophy to chase. Momoa functions more as a curious guest than a narrator, sitting in garages and back rooms and letting his subjects explain, in their own words, why they chose to build a life around a single obsessive skill. Each episode moves to a new region and a new trade, but the throughline stays constant: independence earned through repetition, patience, and a willingness to fail in public before getting it right.
Cast & crew
Momoa anchors every episode as host, with Rashida Jones, Bill Murray, Marlon Wayans, and Jenny Slate appearing as recurring voices alongside the featured craftspeople; the show leans on its real-world subjects more than any single celebrity turn.
Context & significance
"On the Roam" arrived in 2024 as part of a wave of American reality-documentary programming built around travel and craft rather than competition, sitting in the Adventure and Documentary categories with a 6.7 IMDb rating from viewers who responded to its low-key, character-driven approach. Episodes run around 45 minutes, long enough to sit with one trade in depth without turning the format into a highlight reel, and the show's regional hopping gives it a loose road-trip structure that rewards watching several entries back to back.
Where & how to watch
The series streams on K-Time with both Persian dubbing and Persian subtitles available, so Farsi-speaking viewers can follow every workshop conversation in their own language. Watching requires a free K-Time account login; the film page itself is open to read without signing in, and the interface is built around a Farsi-first viewing experience for the Iranian diaspora who want documentary programming without hunting across scattered sources.
