About Secrets of the Whales:

  • “Featuring the expansive knowledge and skill of acclaimed National Geographic Explorer and Photographer Brian Skerry, the series ventures deep into the world of whales to witness the extraordinary communication skills and intricate social structures to reveal life and love from their perspective. Secrets of the Whales unveils new science and technology to spotlight whales as they make lifelong friendships, teach clan heritage and traditions to their young, and grieve deeply for the loss of loved ones. Filmed over three years in 24 global locations, throughout this epic journey, we learn that whales are far more complex and more like us than ever imagined. This is a personal story that very few are lucky enough to witness … until now.”
  • The series is executive produced by filmmaker and conservationist James Cameron (Avatar) and narrated by actress and conservationist Sigourney Weaver (Alien, Avatar).

All four episodes of Secrets of the Whales will release on Earth Day, Thursday, April 22, 2021, exclusively on Disney+.
