This summer, as part of its new annual America’s National Parks Week event, National Geographic is taking viewers on an extraordinary venture across world-famous and lesser-known national parks to reveal the diversity and wonder of the United States.
The five-part documentary series from the award-winning producers of “Planet Earth,” AMERICA’S NATIONAL PARKS — narrated and executive produced by singer and songwriter Garth Brooks (No. 1-selling solo artist in U.S. history) — premieres Aug. 29 at 9/8c over five consecutive nights on National Geographic. All episodes will also be available to stream on Aug. 31, exclusively on Disney+.
Each night features remarks from the first lady of the United States, Dr. Jill Biden, as she kicks off the series with a special message about how each national park connects people to a piece of the American story. Additionally, in participation with the White House’s Joining Forces Initiative, National Geographic will premiere a PSA throughout the five-night event in which Dr. Biden shows appreciation for our military community and reminds current service members and their families, veterans, and Gold Star families of their free entry into all national parks across the country. Finally, on the closing night, Dr. Biden gives an uplifting message that highlights the wondrous parks and animals showcased throughout the series.
AMERICA’S NATIONAL PARKS kicks off National Geographic’s new annual event, America’s National Parks Week, which takes place from Monday, Aug. 29, through Friday, Sept. 2, 2022, from 6:00 p.m.-3:00 a.m. EDT each day.
