Wildstar has the expertise, experience and cutting-edge film tech to help us chew up that healthy National Geographic budget. We\u2019ll deliver a show that is entertaining, surprising and will do justice to animals usually stuck as supporting cast.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<em>Underdogs<\/em>\u00a0represents an entirely fresh take on the natural history genre that is sure to delight and inform audiences of all ages,\u201d said National Geographic Content President Courteney Monroe. \u201cWith Ryan and Maximum Effort\u2019s irreverent spirit and Wildstar\u2019s award-winning expertise in wildlife storytelling, we have assembled the perfect team to tell the entertaining stories of nature\u2019s unsung heroes with both humor and heart.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dan Rees, Wildstar executive producer, added, \u201c<em>Underdogs<\/em>\u00a0explores the animal world with a fresh, fun and highly entertaining perspective. Partnering so closely with Ryan and Maximum Effort has allowed us to bake in their inimitable humor every step of the way\u2014from conception to delivery of this unique series. As a result, <em>Underdogs<\/em>\u00a0will make you snort with laughter and possibly even spill your coffee on your lap, but ultimately it puts a new spotlight on some of the weirder and less explored denizens of our planet, and all underpinned by sound science and research.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>National Geographic has greenlit the new natural history series Underdogs, with Ryan Reynolds set to narrate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":350,"featured_media":18916,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[101,6860,6861,1009,1444,6859,6317],"class_list":["post-19198","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-courteney-monroe","tag-dan-rees","tag-maximum-effort","tag-national-geographic","tag-ryan-reynolds","tag-underdogs","tag-wildstar-films","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
