“This is gonna be some ride!” 🦍 Apple TV has revealed an official trailer for a nature doc series titled The Wild Ones, launching for streaming on Apple TV+ in July this summer. Join the expedition to save our planet’s most endangered species. Wildlife filmmakers travel across the globe to find and protect the world’s most critically endangered animals in this 6-part docu-series. Featuring former Royal Marines Commando and expedition leader Aldo Kane, wildlife and camera trap expert Declan “Dec” Burley, and ecological storyteller and wildlife cinematographer Vianet Djenguet, The Wild Ones blends high-stakes adventure with groundbreaking science and nature conservation. Together, the trio travels to six countries — Malaysia, Mongolia, Armenia, Indonesia, Canada & Gabon — capturing rare, unique footage of elusive and endangered species, including the Malayan tiger, Gobi bear, Caucasian leopard, Javan rhino, North Atlantic right whale and Western lowland gorilla. I’m glad they’re doing more than just saying “hey let’s go film these animals” – they’re also trying to figure out how to help conserve & protect these very special endangered species. Enjoy.

Here’s the official trailer (+ poster art) for Apple TV’s doc series The Wild Ones, direct from YouTube:

Explore hidden corners of the Earth with a trio of experts as they try to save six endangered species from extinction. With crafty camerawork & survival skills, the team race to find, record, protect these elusive creatures before it’s too late. Battling the North Atlantic, the team squeezes into the belly of a boat to find endangered whales with the help of emerging tech. In Armenia’s rugged mountains, the team pursues one of the most mysterious & majestic predators: Caucasian leopards. The team ships out to Gabon’s dense jungles to track down an entirely wild troop of gorillas — with a surprising plan to save them from extinction. On the island of Java, the crew dodges crocodiles to try and find the world’s rarest rhinos in a bid to help them breed again. Deep in the desert of Mongolia, the team plays the ultimate game of hide-and-seek, searching for Gobi bears before they disappear forever. And in Malaysia’s remote rainforests, Declan, Vianet, & Aldo look for the world’s rarest tigers to try and defend them from ruthless poachers.

The Wild Ones is a nature doc series created and produced by Offspring Films, the team behind Apple TV+’s BAFTA Award-nominated Earth At Night In Color and Earthsounds series as well. No final director credits have been provided yet. The series is executive produced by Alex Williamson and Isla Robertson.
