Apple TV+ Reveals The Wild Ones and Announces Prodigies
Today, Apple TV+ revealed a first look at its new documentary adventure series The Wild Ones, set to premiere globally on July 11, 2025. The streaming service has also announced the new romantic comedy Prodigies.
Originally announced under the working title “Endangered Planet,” the six-part series The Wild Ones follows an elite trio of wildlife experts as they embark on high-stakes expeditions across the globe to track and protect the planet’s most endangered species.
Fronted by former Royal Marines Commando and expedition lead Aldo Kane, wildlife and camera trap expert Declan Burley, and ecological storyteller and wildlife cinematographer Vianet Djenguet, The Wild Ones blends rugged field adventure with groundbreaking science and conservation.
The team traverses six countries—Malaysia, Mongolia, Armenia, Indonesia, Canada, and Gabon—deploying next-generation camera technology to capture rare and often first-ever footage of elusive species, including the Malayan tiger, Gobi bear, Caucasian leopard, Javan rhino, North Atlantic right whale, and Western lowland gorilla.
The Wild Ones is produced by Offspring Films, the team behind Apple TV+‘s Earth at Night in Color and Earthsounds, and executive produced by Alex Williamson and Isla Robertson.
The seven-episode comedy Prodigies stars BAFTA and SAG Award winner Will Sharpe (The White Lotus, A Real Pain) and Emmy and SAG Award winner Ayo Edebiri (The Bear, After the Hunt). The series is created, written, and directed by Sharpe and produced by the Emmy Award and BAFTA Award-winning SISTER. Edebiri will also serve as an executive producer on the series.
This unusual take on a classic romantic comedy explores the universal complexities of long-term relationships through the lens of a very unique couple. Didi (Edebiri) and Ren (Sharpe) are two ex-child prodigies who have been together since they were children.
Now in their early 30s, they are starting to question whether their very ordinary existence is living up to the extraordinary promise of their childhood. Inevitably, they find themselves asking the same questions about their relationship.
As individual hopes and needs feed into and conflict with their shared lives, the series challenges the fallacy at the heart of romantic storytelling — that the tale is over when the heroes get together. In life, surely, that is just the beginning?
Prodigies is created and written by Sharpe, who also serves as an executive producer alongside Edebiri and award-winning executive producers Jane Featherstone (Black Doves, Giri/Haji), Naomi De Pear (This Is Going to Hurt, Flowers) and Katie Carpenter (Landscapers, Flowers) for SISTER.
