Tom Hanks and Hans Zimmer Bring "The Americas" to Life in Stunning New Docu-Series
If you're a fan of breathtaking nature documentaries, get ready for something truly spectacular. "The Americas," a brand-new 10-part wildlife series, is set to debut on February 23 on NBC and Peacock in the U.S. This isn't just any nature series—it's narrated by none other than Tom Hanks and features an incredible musical score by the legendary Hans Zimmer.
This series takes us deep into the wild and unexplored corners of North and South America, showcasing the vast and diverse landscapes that make up this incredible supercontinent. From the frozen tundras of the Arctic to the steamy jungles of the Amazon, "The Americas" promises to reveal never-before-seen animal behaviors and stunning natural wonders.

What makes this series even more special is its ambition. Created by Emmy and BAFTA-winning producer Mike Gunton, the series was filmed over five years, covering 87,000 miles and 180 expeditions. It's the most expensive unscripted project in NBC’s history, and from the footage we've seen so far, it looks like it’s worth every penny.
Tom Hanks might not be the first person you'd expect to narrate a nature series, but that’s exactly what makes this so unique. The creators wanted someone with the same gravitas as David Attenborough but with a fresh perspective—someone who could bring a sense of wonder and excitement to the storytelling. And let’s be honest, if there’s anyone who can make us feel completely immersed in a story, it’s Tom Hanks.
Each episode of "The Americas" will explore a different region, from the Atlantic Coast to Patagonia, with breathtaking cinematography and groundbreaking technology capturing nature like never before. If you’re in the U.S., you can catch it on NBC every Sunday evening, with episodes available on Peacock the next day. For those in the U.K., the BBC has acquired the series, but a release date hasn’t been confirmed yet.
And if you want a behind-the-scenes look at how this masterpiece was made, a special bonus episode, "The Making of The Americas," will air exclusively on Peacock on April 21.
This is shaping up to be one of the most ambitious wildlife series ever produced, and with a dream team like Tom Hanks and Hans Zimmer leading the way, it’s bound to be an unforgettable experience.
