National Geographic Greenlights new natural history series “Underdogs” and fans are already laughing.
Picture Deadpool narrating a National Geographic special that puts nature’s background animals at center stage. Yes, it is a little unconventional and yet this series is going to tell the story of heroic underdogs of the wild. The good, the bad, and the ugly! It’s a 10-part series that co-produced by Ryan Reynolds’ Maximum Effort and multiple Emmy® and BAFTA Award-winning Wildstar Films (“America The Beautiful,” “Epic Adventures with Bertie Gregory”). The teaser is out and fans are already cracking up listening to Reynolds’ comments.
Reynolds states I love nature series and I love making things my kids can actually watch. We’re already having a lot of fun trying to bring a new voice to animal docs. Wildstar has the expertise, experience and cutting-edge film tech to help us chew up that healthy National Geographic budget. We’ll deliver a show that is entertaining, surprising and will do justice to animals usually stuck as supporting cast.
From the company that brought sci-fi fans the ingenious series “Mars,” National Geographic is going to hit home with nerds of all ages. This is going to be brilliant and hilarious.
From their hidden talents to their bold hygiene choices, unsavory courtship rituals, devious camouflage techniques and “tough love” parenting skills, UNDERDOGS will celebrate and champion the unique and unpredictable behaviors of a little known and surprising cast of animal characters. These overlooked superstars come in all sizes, shapes and smells. They’re the outcasts and the troublemakers, brash, unsophisticated, flatulent, incontinent and often unhinged. But they’re also warriors, team players and evil geniuses. They’re out there 24-7 giving it maximum effort, keeping the natural world in working order for all those showboating polar bears, sharks and gorillas.
“Underdogs” represents an entirely fresh take on the natural history genre that is sure to delight and inform audiences of all ages, says National Geographic’s Content President Courteney Monroe. With Ryan and Maximum Effort’s irreverent spirit and Wildstar’s award-winning expertise in wildlife storytelling, we have assembled the perfect team to tell the entertaining stories of nature’s unsung heroes with both humor and heart.
