Growing Up (September 8)
This innovative hybrid docuseries, created by Brie Larson and Culture.House, explores the challenges, triumphs, and complexities of adolescence through 10 compelling coming of age stories. Each 30-minute episode, through narrative, experimental, and documentary filmmaking, follows an individual, ages 18-22, as they share their experiences growing up. Each episode is anchored by a deeply personal interview that allows the “hero” to walk viewers through their childhood and teenage years and includes creative cinematic reenactments to help bring their major inflection points to life.
Epic Adventures with Bertie Gregory (September 8)
The National Geographic explorer takes viewers on epic and nail-biting journeys that push into the most spectacular and secretive corners of our wild world. The series tells extraordinary, real-life animal stories and takes viewers with him for every beat of the action. For weeks at a time, the cinematographer immerses himself into the animals’ lives to capture the untold stories of iconic creatures living in some of the harshest environments on our planet. In Season 1, Gregory braves the icy worlds of Antarctica in search of the biggest gathering of whales ever filmed and comes face-to-face with specialist buffalo-hunting lions in Zambia.
Super/Natural (September 21)
Executive-produced by James Cameron and narrated by Benedict Cumberbatch, this new series utilizes the latest scientific innovations and leading-edge filmmaking technology to reveal the secret powers and super-senses of the world’s most extraordinary animals, inviting viewers to see and hear beyond normal human perception to experience the natural world as a specific species does — from seeing flowers in bee-vision to eavesdropping on a conversation between elephant seals to soaring the length of a football field with glow-in-the-dark squirrels.
The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers Season 2 (September 28)
After winning back the Mighty Ducks team name in Season 1, the squad-with-heart and their coach Alex Morrow (Lauren Graham) take to the road to attend an intense summer hockey institute in California run by charming yet hardcore former NHL player, Colin Cole (Josh Duhamel). It’s a place for kids to get excellent at hockey — without school to get in the way. As our Ducks try to survive in this super-competitive environment, they’re faced with the question: Can you win summer?
