Safari from the couch
Tom Hanks showcases epic wildlife of The Americas
The Americas, a stunning 10-part event series narrated by Tom Hanks, is coming to Seven and 7plus from 7.30pm, Tuesday 25 March.
Accompanied by music from Oscar® and GRAMMY Award-winning composer Hans Zimmer, The Americas showcases the wonders, secrets and fragilities of the wildlife and nature in the world’s greatest supercontinent.
Five years in the making and filmed over 180 expeditions, this groundbreaking series used cutting-edge technology to uncover never-before-seen behaviour and highlight the extraordinary, untold wildlife stories on Earth’s most varied landmass, the only one to stretch both poles.
The Americas’ unprecedented scale and ambition deliver remarkable world firsts: new species, new intimate courtship, dramatic deep-sea hunting, and some of nature’s strangest stories, even a frog that seems to defy death every day. Each hour-long episode features a different iconic location across the Americas: The Atlantic Coast, Mexico, The Wild West, The Amazon, The Frozen North, The Gulf Coast, The Andes, The Caribbean, The West Coast, and Patagonia.
The Americas is executive produced by renowned Emmy and BAFTA Award-winning wildlife producer Mike Gunton (Life, Planet Earth II, Dynasties) for BBC Studios Natural History Unit, the best-known and most respected producers of natural history content in the world, in association with Universal Television Alternative Studio, a division of Universal Studio Group.
