Get ready to ditch those boring nature docs your grandparents watched. National Geographic’s latest series “Underdogs” is here to turn wildlife filmmaking on its head, and Ryan Reynolds is leading the charge with his signature snark.

This isn’t your typical nature series where majestic creatures parade across pristine landscapes. Instead, “Underdogs” celebrates the weirdos, outcasts, and absolute chaos agents of the animal kingdom. Imagine a docuseries that treats nature like a wild comedy, complete with comic book graphics and genre-bending storytelling.

Nature’s Unsung Heroes

Each episode tackles a different theme - from “Superheroes” featuring creatures with mind-blowing abilities to “Sexy Beasts” exploring the most bizarre mating rituals imaginable. The series highlights animals like the honey badger, pistol shrimp, and an aye-aye that Reynolds hilariously describes as “if fear and panic had a baby and rolled it in dog hair”.

Behind the Scenes Chaos

Creators Mark Linfield and Vanessa Berlowitz wanted to break free from traditional wildlife documentaries. By focusing on overlooked creatures and bringing Reynolds’ comedic genius into the mix, they’ve created something totally revolutionary.

Why You Should Care

This isn’t just another nature show - it’s a love letter to the underdogs of the natural world, told with wit, irreverence, and genuine scientific curiosity. With Green Day even creating a special theme song, “Underdogs” promises to be the coolest nature series you’ll watch this year.
