Tom Hanks Narrates Groundbreaking Documentary Series "The Americas"

A groundbreaking new wildlife documentary series, The Americas, is set to captivate audiences with its extraordinary journey across Earth's supercontinent. Narrated by Tom Hanks, the 10-episode series is the latest project from the Emmy-winning wildlife filmmaker behind Planet Earth 2 and The Green Planet. The series, filmed over five years by 180 expeditions, spans from the Arctic to the tip of South America, offering a stunning portrayal of the diverse wildlife and ecosystems that define the Americas.

Executive producer Mike Gunton, known for his work on some of the most iconic nature documentaries, is pushing the boundaries of wildlife filmmaking in The Americas. "As a wildlife filmmaker, you're always looking to try and do new things. And it gets harder and harder to find things that other people haven't done," Gunton said, referring to the challenge of capturing truly unique moments in the wild.

The series promises to showcase places and behaviors that have never been filmed before, offering audiences a fresh perspective on the natural world. "There’s no CGI in this at all; nothing is made up," Gunton explained. "We’re showing you real-life moments, new animals, and behaviors, or seeing how animals live their lives from a different perspective."

One of the most exciting aspects of The Americas is its exploration of locations with a unique biological identity and personality. The series highlights 10 ultimate locations that capture the essence of the supercontinent and its diverse wildlife, inviting viewers to see them in a way they never have before.

From thrilling animal behavior to up-close shots of breathtaking landscapes, The Americas is sure to be a visual feast for nature lovers. "What happens next has never been filmed before," Gunton said, underscoring the groundbreaking nature of the series. "It’s just incredible."

The series is set to leave audiences in awe as it uncovers the hidden wonders of the Americas, from places beneath the surface that most have never seen to animals in action like never before. The Americas is a must-watch for anyone interested in the beauty and complexity of the natural world, providing an unforgettable experience that is both shocking and beautiful.
