Free Solo’s Alex Honnold to Star in New Disney+ Docuseries

Disney+ has ordered the three-part original docuseries On the Edge with Alex Honnold, featuring the climber from the Oscar-winning documentary Free Solo, from National Geographic.

Produced by Plimsoll Productions, On the Edge with Alex Honnold sees Honnold embark on a lifelong dream: a climbing quest across the remotest and toughest walls and peaks of Greenland, a country on the frontline of the climate crisis. His ultimate test will come from Peak 3342, which to date is unclimbed and one of the highest peaks in Greenland.

“I’ve always wanted to climb in Greenland—it has some of the most remote and epic walls in the world. But it’s also being tremendously affected by climate change,” said Honnold. “I’m very excited about the opportunity to explore the climbing while also sharing some of the local impacts of climate change with a global audience. Our changing climate is the biggest issue facing humanity, and I hope that this will help inspire people to take action.”
