Will Smith pushes himself to the limit in National Geographic's new docuseries 'Pole to Pole'

Will Smith's Epic Quest: Crossing Seven Continents for a Deeper Understanding of Our World.

In a journey that has spanned five years, Oscar-winning actor Will Smith is set to embark on the adventure of a lifetime with National Geographic's new docuseries 'Pole to Pole'. The 57-year-old actor will be pushing his mental and physical limits as he traverses the planet's most extreme environments, from the icy landscapes of Antarctica to the lush jungles of the Amazon.

The series, which premieres on January 13th, showcases Smith's unyielding spirit as he ventures across all seven continents, braving some of the most inhospitable terrains on Earth. From scuba diving beneath ice-capped glaciers to climbing towering mountain peaks and encountering an array of exotic wildlife, including a giant anaconda, this is an adventure that defies conventional boundaries.

In his own words, Smith describes the experience as "unlike anything" he's ever done before, admitting that there were times when he feared not making it home. However, it was not just the planet's edges he set out to explore, but also the extraordinary people living on its fringes. The series promises to be an exploration of the human spirit, with Smith capturing the beauty and wonder of our world through his every step.

National Geographic's EVP of Content Tom McDonald praises Smith for bringing a unique blend of humor, humanity, and wonder to the documentary, saying that it embodies everything National Geographic stands for: powerful storytelling, jaw-dropping cinematography, and a deeper understanding of how our world works. "We're inviting audiences to see our planet through Will's eyes," he adds, highlighting the thrilling adventure at the heart of this new series.

"Pole to Pole with Will Smith" will be available on Disney+ globally starting January 14th, followed by its US debut on Hulu. With its global reach and National Geographic's reputation for quality storytelling, this is an event not to be missed for anyone looking to embark on a journey of discovery about our incredible planet.

I'm low-key obsessed with Will Smith's new docuseries "Pole to Pole"!! It sounds like he's going through some serious self-discovery, you know? Not just exploring the planet, but also meeting the people who live on its edges. That's what I think is really cool about it - it's not just about adventure, but also about understanding our world and its inhabitants. And with National Geographic behind it, I'm expecting some insane visuals . Can't wait to watch it on Disney+!

man I'm so stoked to see Will Smith taking on this epic adventure . five years is a long time and I gotta respect his dedication to exploring every corner of the globe . and can you imagine the footage? Antarctica, Amazon, all seven continents... it's like he's got the whole world as his playground . and what I love about this docuseries is that it's not just about the thrill of adventure, but also about getting to know the people who call these places home . National Geographic always knows how to bring us something special, and with Will at the helm, I've got high hopes for this one .

 

[Mystic Mountain Climber]

I mean, what a dude Will Smith is! Crossing seven continents in five years? That's just insane. I love how he's not just exploring the environment, but also meeting the people who live on its edges. It's like, we need more of that kind of storytelling. You know, highlighting the beauty and wonder of our world, not just the politics and drama. And scuba diving beneath ice-capped glaciers? That's like something out of a movie. I'm definitely gonna check this docuseries out on Disney+ when it drops. Can't wait to see what he captures through his journey...

 

[Night of the F]

[Adv]

[Sim College in the]

man I'm both hyped and skeptical at the same time ... like, how's he gonna do it? 5 years is a looong time to just keep pushing himself out there. what if he hits rock bottom mentally or physically? but on the other hand, can you imagine seeing the world through his eyes? that giant anaconda tho and I love how he's not just focusing on the extremes of nature, but also the people living in these environments... it's like, we need to see ourselves in this journey too. anyway, Disney+ is gonna be flooded with viewers, fingers crossed they don't get lost in all the hype

 

[Heavy Metal Hobo Drea]

oh my gosh can't wait to watch Will Smith's adventure on Disney+! he's always been so inspiring with his movies and I love how National Geographic is highlighting the beauty of our world & the people living on its edges it's going to be such a thrilling ride from pole to pole

 

[My First Viki]

I'm so done with people thinking that Will Smith's latest adventure is all about saving the planet or promoting environmentalism ... it's just a TV show, folks! The fact that he's doing it for National Geographic doesn't make it any more profound than any other documentary series out there. And let's be real, who needs to see Will Smith scuba diving in Antarctica when I can watch him lip-syncing on stage? At the end of the day, this is just a guy going on an adventure for the sake of getting good TV ratings and promoting his own brand. Give me a break!

 

[Enchanting Emu]

Dude I'm loving the idea of Will Smith embarking on this epic adventure! It's like he's channeling his inner Bear Grylls from Man vs Wild , but with a dash of Hollywood glamour and humor . The fact that he's exploring all seven continents and meeting people from diverse backgrounds will surely give audiences a deeper understanding of our world's complexities . I'm hyped to see the stunning cinematography and Will's infectious enthusiasm! It's like he's saying "I'm on a mission from God" (cruel intent, not necessary) as he ventures into the unknown. Can't wait for the premiere on January 13th!

 

[Rad Afro Tale]

Ugh, another overhyped docu-series . I mean, what's next? A 10-part series where Leonardo DiCaprio goes deep-sea diving in the Great Barrier Reef? Been there done that. And let's be real, Will Smith is a talented actor, but this seems like an attempt to relive his "I Am Legend" days . I'd rather watch him try to act out a scene from "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" than put me through the trauma of trekking across seven continents . Can't they just make something more... concise? Like, 3-part series or something? Anything less would be a waste of our time

 

[Incredible In]

I'm so hyped for this docu series ! Will Smith is like the ultimate adventurer, braving the unknown and pushing his limits in ways I never thought possible . And you know what's even more inspiring? The fact that he's not just exploring the physical world, but also meeting the people who live on the fringes of society . I love how National Geographic is using this platform to share these incredible stories and highlight the beauty of our planet . Can't wait to binge-watch it on Disney+ starting Jan 14th!

 

[Pro Racing Bandits]

I gotta say, Will Smith's adventure sounds absolutely mental! Five years is like, forever, and he's putting himself through some crazy stuff to explore the world. From scuba diving in Antarctica to climbing mountains, it's not just about pushing his limits, but also about experiencing different cultures and meeting people from all walks of life.

I love how he's not just focusing on the extremes, but also on the human side of things. It's like, our planet is full of beauty and wonder, and we can learn so much from each other. The fact that National Geographic is behind this project makes me think it's gonna be a really well-crafted show.

For me, watching someone like Will Smith explore the world in such a deep way is actually pretty inspiring. It makes you realize how small our problems are compared to the vastness of our planet . I'm definitely excited to see what he discovers on his journey and how it's gonna be showcased on Disney+!

 

[Electric Acid on]

Will Smith's adventure is like, super inspiring , he's really putting himself out there for the planet , can't wait to see it!

 

[Selfish Shark]

I'm loving the idea of Will Smith exploring all seven continents ! It's amazing that he's using his platform to highlight the beauty and diversity of our world. I think it's so cool that he's not just focusing on the extreme environments, but also on the people living in those areas – it's a great way to showcase the human spirit . The fact that National Geographic is backing this project says a lot about their commitment to storytelling and education . Can't wait to watch it on Disney+ and learn more about our incredible planet !

 

[Ebony Sailo]

I'm so down for Will Smith's epic adventure, but I gotta say, it feels like something out of a National Geographics special from back in the 90s when they used to feature those wild explorers like Bear Grylls and all that . Still, I guess it's cool that he's using his platform to explore the human side of things too... kinda like what Jonathon Franzen was talking about in The Corrections? Anyway, I'll def be checking out the doc series when it drops on Disney+, just 'cause, you know?

 

[The Harlem Gl]

Omg yaaas I'm literally hyped for Will Smith's new docu-series! He's been preparing for this adventure for 5 whole years and it's gonna be EPIC!!! I love how he's not just exploring the extreme environments, but also meeting the people living on the fringes of our world. It's all about that human connection and I'm here for it

 

[Blissfu]

Dude, Will Smith must be like "I'm not old, I'm just chronologically gifted" with all these crazy stunts he's pulling off on this docuseries! Crossing seven continents? That's like trying to eat 7 entire pizza pies in one sitting... or trying to run around the world while wearing flippers and a snorkel lolol. And can you imagine having to deal with Will Ferrell in real life after watching this show? "Dude, I've scuba dived under ice-caps, what have you done?"

 

[Misty Macaw]

just saw the trailer for Will Smith's new docuseries Pole to Pole... dude looks like he's in for the ride of his life traversing 7 continents, scuba diving in Antarctica and climbing mountains can't wait to see the stunning visuals they're gonna drop on Disney+ & Hulu!
