The Americas, often perceived as separate continents, are actually a vast supercontinent that showcases ten distinct biomes, teeming with diverse ecosystems and wildlife. The nature documentary series The Americas, narrated by Tom Hanks, aims to highlight this unique biodiversity, exploring the interconnectedness of animal life across the regions. Executive producer Mike Gunton emphasizes the importance of portraying the Americas collectively, merging storytelling of individual animal characters with the broader scope of nature, creating an engaging documentary that celebrates the variety of life from the Arctic to Patagonia.
When I finished making Planet Earth II, I was thinking 'How can I combine these two approaches?' We wanted to create something on the scale of Planet Earth but that told real character stories.
To truly appreciate the Americas, it's essential to see them as a whole, exploring the connections between wildlife across various regions and understanding the intricate ecosystems.
