Superhot spicy peppers are on fire lately - but while most experiment with heat, others live their lives in pursuit of fire. SUPERHOT is a wild ride into the Spicy World of Pepper People – the self-proclaimed chili heads who have taken the chili pill and want to find out how deep the rabbit hole goes. This 10-part series goes deep into a subculture fueled by spice: from the elite growers who strive to create new superhots to the chili eaters who chase the endorphin rush of consuming them. Along the way, one legendary chili head sets out on a quest to answer the spiciest of questions: is there a pepper that can challenge the world’s hottest?

When you conjure an image of who is likely to be at the top of the competitive chili eating heap, you probably wouldn’t imagine Shahina Waseem. But for 10 years now she has dominated the field, taking all comers and never losing a bout. Known as the “UK Chilli Queen,” Shahina has set her sights on an unfathomable goal: 100 straight competitive chili eating competition wins. Superhot joins Shahina as she climbs that mountain. Can she establish herself as the Greatest of All Time?
