Underdogs OTT Release Date: When and where to watch Ryan Reynolds' new National Geographic nature series online
Underdogs OTT Release Date: Ryan Reynolds is back, but this time, he's not playing a superhero or a snarky hitman. He's lending his voice (and signature humour) to a new National Geographic show called Underdogs. And guess what? It's not about lions, tigers, or pandas. It's about the weird, wonderful, and totally ignored creatures of the animal world.
Premiering on June 15, 2025, at 9 PM ET/PT on National Geographic and ABC, the series will be available for streaming the same day on Disney+ (JioHotstar in India) and Hulu.
What's Underdogs about?
This show is all about the 'nobodies' of the animal kingdom. We're talking about the slimy, awkward, bizarre, and often hilarious creatures most people don't care about. But these animals are doing some seriously cool (and gross) stuff to survive and thrive. You'll see:
A glowing cave full of grubs lighting it up with their butts (yes, really)
Shrimp that shoot bubbles hot enough to cook things
Koalas that feed poop to their babies
Frogs that turn invisible
Basically, it's nature like you've never seen before.
Who's behind this?
Ryan Reynolds not only narrates Underdogs but also serves as an executive producer through his company, Maximum Effort. The series is a collaborative effort with Wildstar Films, known for their expertise in wildlife storytelling. The production team includes Vanessa Berlowitz, Mark Linfield, Dan Rees, George Dewey, Ashley Fox, Patrick Gooing, Bengt Anderson, and Tracy Rudolph Jackson.
The theme song is penned by rock band Green Day, while the score is composed by Henry Gregson-Williams, whose previous works include Shrek, The Martian, and Gladiator 2.
Episode Breakdown
Here's what each episode covers:
Superzeroes (June 15) – Weird creatures with wild powers. Think frogs you can see through, and shrimp that punch like boxers.
Terrible Parents (June 15) – Moms and dads in the wild who are just... bad. Like birds laying eggs on cliffs or koalas with poop on the menu.
Sexy Beasts (June 22) – The animal dating scene, and it's strange. Monkeys with weird noses and turkeys doing dance moves.
The Unusual Suspects (June 22) – Sneaky animals doing sneaky things. Frogs pretending to be rocks. Monkeys stealing from tourists.
Total Grossout (June 29) – Nature's nastiest tricks. Farting manatees, glowing bugs, and more stuff that's cool and kinda gross.
So if you're bored of lions and penguins and want to learn about the little guys who don't usually get the spotlight, this one's for you. Catch Underdogs on Nat Geo starting June 15 or stream it on JioHotstar. Your inner animal nerd will thank you.

CM Punk to Charlotte Flair: 7 wrestlers missing from the WWE Money in the Bank 2025 list
WWE Money in the Bank (MITB) is back. John Cena and Cody Rhodes will be in a massive tag team as part of the show and a Women's Intercontinental Championship between Becky Lynch and Lyra Valkyria has also been announced apart from the traditional ladder matches. Despite these progresses, a couple of key names seem to be missing from the roll of players who will have a shot at grabbing the briefcase on top of the ring. CM Punk Perhaps the biggest shocker for MITB fans came when WWE legend CM Punk was missing from the list of those scheduled to compete. Punk's decades-long feud with Seth Rollins could be a potential contributing factor to this, although no confirmation has been provided for the same. Sami Zayn Sami Zayn's defeat in Saturday Night's Main Event has led to him being kicked out of the MITB championship this year. However, his creative team's claims of preparing him for something much bigger leave room open for Zayn to be part of a tag team against Seth Rollins' faction at SummerSlam. Charlotte Flair Although there are no personal feuds pending to Charlotte Flair's name, her loss at the qualifying match on the blue brand and dearth of matches in the ring have left MITB out of her plans this year. Jacob Fatu United States breakout champion Jacob Fatu has things going as well as they could be. His work on the blue brand and recent performance left many puzzled as to why Fatu was left off the roll for no reason but he doesn't seem to be in any urgent need of MITB fame as well. Finn Balor Finn Balor lost his qualifying match to Seth Rollins. Despite his numerous television appearances, the industry still hasn't granted him sufficient premium live event opportunities. Fans are still hopeful of the possibility that WWE might include Balor in the SummerSlam. Liv Morgan As one-half of the reigning Women's Tag Team Champions, Liv Morgan's absence from MITB seems to stem from her Judgement Day drama. Reports suggest that the possibility of Dominik Mysterio betraying her to partner up with Roxanne Perez is not off the table. Morgan is scheduled for a feud against Iyo Sky soon. Jade Cargill A feud with Naomi and Tiffany Stratton and a loss in the qualifying match against the former seems to have put MITB out of Jade Cargill's cards. Her return at Elimination Chamber 2025 and a blue brand moment at WrestleMania were recent successes in Cargill's career. Many speculate that she may still be present at the MITB match to lower Naomi's chances of winning. The championship is scheduled to take place on Saturday (June 7) at Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California at 7:00 PM ET (4:00 PM PT).
