National Geographic has released trailers and announced premiere dates for key upcoming programs, including “Incredible Animal Journeys” (narrated by Jeremy Renner), “A Real Bug’s Life” (narrated by Awkwafina) and “Arctic Ascent with Alex Honnold.”
The trailer for “Incredible Animal Journeys,” narrated by Jeremy Renner, features Renner giving a glimpse of his narration as zebras race over tall grasses and polar bears trudge across icy terrain. The series will follow the migrations of animals.
“Every day, countless animals travel across the globe through danger and doubt, perils and perseverance, through hardships and homecomings,” states Renner in the trailer. “Some journeys will last a lifetime. But they all begin with a first step.”

“A Real Bug’s Life” explores bug worlds, based on Disney and Pixar’s 1998 film “A Bug’s Life.” The trailer features bug-on-bug violence, a spider performing a “Mission Impossible”-like leap (or perhaps Spider-Man might be more fitting) and a bug delighting in a human’s leftover hot dog.
“Bugs. Give me the scaly, the squishy, the ‘oh, she’s fluffy!,” Awkwafina says in the trailer. “These curious creatures crawl, creep and climb their way through life. I’m talking about epic tales on a miniature scale.”
This Disney+ original series premieres on Jan. 24.
“Arctic Ascent with Alex Honnold” centers on the rock climber as he climbs Ingmikortilaq, a formidable sea cliff in Greenland that has no known climbers. In the trailer, Honnold pants heavily as he attempt to scale the rock face.
“Ultimately, what’s at stake with climbing is always your life,” says Honnold. “The first picture I saw of Ingmikortilaq, it looked like death.”
The three-part series debuts Feb. 4 on National Geographic, followed by a Feb. 5 streaming debut on Disney+ and Hulu.
Plimsoll Productions is behind all three projects.
