NBC invites viewers on a sweeping exploration of the natural wonders of the Americas with its new series, “The Americas.” The premiere episode, “The Atlantic Coast,” airing this Sunday, focuses on the abundant wildlife that thrives along this dynamic shoreline.
From wild horse battles on the sandy beaches to fish seeking refuge from sharks, “The Atlantic Coast” offers an up-close look at the diverse ecosystems of the eastern edge of the continent. The series, filmed over five years and spanning 180 expeditions, uses state-of-the-art technology to capture intimate moments in the lives of these animals.
Viewers will witness the aerial prowess of bald eagles as they harass ospreys, the resourcefulness of raccoons adapting to urban environments, and the quiet power of black bears foraging in ancient forests. The episode even turns its lens to a 130-year-old oak tree, a silent witness to decades of change along the coast.
“The Americas: The Atlantic Coast” airs Sunday, February 23, 2025 at 8:00 PM on NBC.
