Ryan Reynolds turns narrator for docu-series 'Underdogs'

Ryan Reynolds lends his voice to National Geographic's 'Underdogs,' showcasing nature's overlooked creatures with humor and never-before-seen footage.

"Getting to work with National Geographic on UNDERDOGS was a dream come true. – Ryan Reynolds"

Los Angeles, June 18

Hollywood star Ryan Reynolds has turned narrator for docu-series 'Underdogs'. As per a press note, the National Geographic docu-series "celebrates the unique behaviors of the animals."

On working on 'Underdogs', Ryan said, "Getting to work with National Geographic on UNDERDOGS was a dream come true--mostly because I can finally watch a project of ours with my children. Technically, they saw 'Deadpool & Wolverine' but I don't think they absorbed much while covering their eyes and ears and screaming for two hours."

He added, "We're so proud to elevate the unsung heroes of the natural world to the top of the entertainment food chain and can't wait for everyone to see."

Each episode of the five-part series showcases a different aspect of these underdogs' bizarre mating strategies, surprising superpowers, deception, dubious parenting skills, and gross-out behaviours.

UNDERDOGS features a range of never-before-filmed scenes, including the first time a film crew has ever entered a special cave in New Zealand - a huge cavern that glows brighter than a bachelor pad under a black light thanks to the glowing butts of millions of mucus-coated grubs.

'Underdogs' will premiere on the National Geographic channel tomorrow at 8 pm.

Ryan Reynolds is such a versatile actor! From Deadpool to nature documentaries - what a range. 😄 Looking forward to watching this with my kids. We need more family-friendly content from big stars.

The concept sounds interesting but I hope they don't make it too Western-centric. India has amazing wildlife stories too - hope NatGeo considers featuring our underdogs in future seasons!

That cave scene description sounds absolutely wild! 🤯 Nature never fails to amaze. Perfect weekend watch with family - much better than the usual reality shows dominating Indian TV these days.

While I appreciate the entertainment value, I wish Indian broadcasters would invest in similar high-quality wildlife documentaries about our own biodiversity. We have so many untold stories in our jungles!
