Ryan Reynolds loves to stay busy. Among the long list of projects coming from him in the next year, the actor has released the first look for the National Geographic series Underdogs, which he is producing under his own company, Maximum Effort.
As he usually does, Reynolds took to Twitter to share with his followers the first teaser for the show that will make its way to National Geographic in 2025, with him also narrating it. Underdogs is a ten-part natural history series that will spotlight the unique and unpredictable behaviors of a cast of little-known animal characters in the natural world, including their camouflage techniques, parenting skills, and courtship rituals. You can check the teaser out below:

Ryan Reynolds previously released a statement regarding the upcoming series:
“I love nature series and I love making things my kids can actually watch. We’re already having a lot of fun trying to bring a new voice to animal docs. Wildstar has the expertise, experience, and cutting-edge film tech to help us chew up that healthy National Geographic budget. We’ll deliver a show that is entertaining, surprising, and will do justice to animals usually stuck as a supporting cast.”

20th Century Studios
Last year was a busy one for the Canadian, who starred in 2 films, The Adam Project and Spirited. He also made a brief cameo in the action smash Bullet Train while still dedicating some time to produce and star in some commercials.
