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.

Who is Ariana Madix? Love Island USA host reveals reason for season 7 delay
Ariana Madix on Tuesday revealed the reason why Love Island USA's season 7 premiere got delayed. The host of the dating show blamed the fans for crashing the servers of the streaming service Peacock, where the reality show was to premiere. 'Not you guys crashing the app! Haha love it! Gotta get the IT cuties on the job,' she said in the caption of an Instagram story post. Love Island season 7 was supposed to premiere on Peacock at 9 PM ET/6 PM PT, but it did not happen. Some fans reported that the episode was up nearly half an hour after the scheduled time, while others had to wait 45 minutes. Amid all the drama regarding Love Island's delay, here is a look at the show's host, Ariana Madix. Ariana Madix is an American television personality, model, actor and dancer. She was a cast member on the Bravo reality television series Vanderpump Rules before she became the permanent host of Love Island USA in 2024. Madix was born on June 24, 1985, in Melbourne, Florida, and raised by her father, James, and mother, Tanya. Ariana Madix lived with both of her parents as well as her younger brother, Jeremy Madix. Madix graduated from Eau Gallie High School in 2003. In 2007, she graduated from Flagler College, where she received a dual bachelor's degree in Theatre and Broadcast Communications. She began riding horses at the age of 6 and had a competitive equestrian career. She also won two national dance championships. Madix wanted to become a Broadway actor, which she did in 2023. But before that, she started off with acting gigs with 'College Humor' and reality shows after working as a bartender in New York. Madix replaced actress Sarah Hyland as host for the sixth season of the dating reality series Love Island last year. On May 6, 2024, it was announced that Madix would be reprising the role of Roxie Hart once again in the musical Chicago after a positive first run in early 2024. Madix's second Broadway run spanned August 1 through September 1, 2024.
