In the documentary, two cheetah cubs, Lilly and Iris, are raised in captivity after lions kill their mother. When it comes time for them to have a chance to live in the wild, they just need to learn to hunt. The documentary\u00a0follows the sisters as they face the challenges of learning to live as wild cheetahs.<\/p>\n<p>The supervising producer was Jeff Morales, and the project was composed by Robert Neufeld. <em>Cheetah Fast &amp; Wild<\/em> is hosted by Anthony Morgan and features Marna Smit, director of the Ashia Cheetah Conservation, Alex Landman, wildlife monitor at Botlierskop Private Game Reserve and Sian Green, head guide at the Sanbona Wildlife Reserve.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen they were first released into the wilding camp, these sisters didn\u2019t know a rhino from a zebra, from an impala\u2014so they chased them all,\u201d said Kennedy. \u201cThey almost lost their lives their first day. It was fascinating following them for three months and watching them learn a little bit every day on how to be a successful hunter. The secret is the Wilding Camp, where they can live wild, but get support from people if needed. Until Ashia began just a few years ago, experts had tried releasing captive-raised cheetahs before, but almost all attempts failed. Capturing this process on camera is a world first.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fast Cat Films has announced that the documentary Cheetah Fast &#038; Wild will debut as part of The Nature of Things on CBC and CBC Gem on April 2.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7389,"featured_media":24801,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[1277,12364,12365,12366],"class_list":["post-24802","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-cbc","tag-cheetah-fast-wild","tag-fast-cat-films","tag-joe-kennedy","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Cheetah Fast &amp; Wild Coming to CBC &amp; CBC Gem - TVREAL<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/cheetah-fast-wild-debuts-on-cbc-cbc-gem\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Cheetah Fast &amp; Wild Coming to CBC &amp; CBC Gem - TVREAL\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Fast Cat Films has announced that the documentary Cheetah Fast &amp; Wild will debut as part of The Nature of Things on CBC and CBC Gem on April 2.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/cheetah-fast-wild-debuts-on-cbc-cbc-gem\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVREAL\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2026-03-24T16:41:20+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2026-03-24T16:57:26+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2026\/03\/3-cheetah-326.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"640\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"394\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Kloudia Sakowski\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Kloudia Sakowski\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/cheetah-fast-wild-debuts-on-cbc-cbc-gem\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/cheetah-fast-wild-debuts-on-cbc-cbc-gem\/\",\"name\":\"Cheetah Fast & Wild Coming to CBC & CBC Gem - TVREAL\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2026-03-24T16:41:20+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2026-03-24T16:57:26+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#\/schema\/person\/0c0fb596604e018568d0e01fe463109b\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/cheetah-fast-wild-debuts-on-cbc-cbc-gem\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/cheetah-fast-wild-debuts-on-cbc-cbc-gem\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/cheetah-fast-wild-debuts-on-cbc-cbc-gem\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Cheetah Fast &#038; Wild Coming to CBC &#038; CBC Gem\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/\",\"name\":\"TVREAL\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#\/schema\/person\/0c0fb596604e018568d0e01fe463109b\",\"name\":\"Kloudia Sakowski\",\"description\":\"Kloudia Sakowski is the associate editor of World Screen.
