Cast: Tom Hanks
The Americas is a 2025 British-American nature documentary series narrated by Tom Hanks, spanning the entire Western Hemisphere — from the Arctic tundra of Canada to the tip of Patagonia — to reveal the continent's most spectacular landscapes, elusive creatures, and overlooked ecological stories across roughly 45-minute episodes.
What is The Americas about?
Across its episodes, The Americas sweeps through the full length and breadth of the Western Hemisphere, moving from the frozen north through tropical rainforests, high-altitude deserts, and storm-battered coastlines down to the southern reaches of the continent. Each hour focuses on a different zone, following individual animals through seasons of survival, migration, and renewal. The series uncovers little-documented behaviours — a jaguar navigating flooded Amazon corridors, seabirds riding Andean thermals, tidal communities thriving where rivers meet the Pacific — while weaving together the interconnected pressures reshaping these habitats. Tom Hanks delivers the narration in a measured, warm register that holds the larger ecological stakes in view without straying into polemic.
