The Americas will air weekly on Sundays at 7:00 PM on NBC, and is available to stream the next day on Peacock.
Tom Hanks narrates a 10-episode television event from the executive producers of Planet Earth, exploring the extraordinary worlds and wildlife of North and South America. The breathtaking journey follows amazing creatures living in their natural habitats across the supercontinent, including diverse terrains like the Atlantic Coast, Mexico, Wild West, Amazon, Frozen North, Gulf Coast, Andes, Caribbean, West Coast and Patagonia. Each location comes alive in never-before-seen footage showing the unique connectedness of the land that millions of people call home.
Q-tips say: YES, watch this. We are really enjoying The Americas.
Some of the best parts of The Americas is that it acknowledges the impact of humans on the natural world, to a certain extent. Woodpeckers find new uses for barns, and raccoons run rampant in New York City, demonstrating that we’re not evolving alone and that there are living beings affected by our actions.
Mrs. Q says: The cinematography is beautiful. They also got plenty of intimate shots, whether they’re of insects or snakes or raccoons holing up in a stone wall.
