Its upcoming slate includes <em>Mysterious Creatures with Forrest Galante<\/em>, set to launch on October 17 on Animal Planet and discovery+.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m excited to team up with Forrest as he brings rare, firsthand expertise to wildlife storytelling,\u201d said Evangelista. \u201cHe has forged his own avenue as an expert in this space, and while most producers create wildlife programming with backgrounds in film, Forrest\u2019s extensive background in animal sciences drives a unique approach. He seamlessly integrates high-value production insights as these complementary efforts deliver an authenticity to the journey and an enhanced viewer experience.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHaving worked with Eric on Shark Week programming and several other notable wildlife shows, there is no other creative in the industry I would want to launch this production company with,\u201d said Galante. \u201cHis talent, ability to know what resonates with viewers and drive are unmatched.
