Chris Hemsworth (the Thor franchise) and producer Ben Grayson’s recently formed multiplatform production company, Wild State, is launching with a first-look deal with National Geographic. The deal involves Wild State developing unscripted projects in the areas of adventure, exploration, travel, and science for National Geographic’s multiple platforms.
“As lifelong fans of National Geographic, we are thrilled to be able to continue and deepen our partnership with them along with the entire Disney+ platform. Wild State is dedicated to generating immersive narratives that both entertain and shine a light on important issues around the globe. We’re grateful for the opportunity to tell highly impactful, important stories in the unscripted space backed by the support of the premier global conservation and environmental brand in Nat Geo,” said Hemsworth and Grayson.
Chris Hemsworth and Ben Grayson previously collaborated with National Geographic as executive producers on Shark Beach with Chris Hemsworth, which premiered in July 2021, and Limitless with Chris Hemsworth coming soon to Disney+.
“Chris and Ben have been exceptional partners to work with, dedicated to creating and producing the most gripping unscripted programming,” stated Tom McDonald, executive vice president of Global Factual and Unscripted Programming for National Geographic Content. “We’re thrilled to be entering into this long-term partnership with Wild State and can’t wait to build the next generation of blockbuster factual content with them.”
Limitless with Chris Hemsworth will debut later this year exclusively on Disney+. Created by Oscar nominee Darren Aronofsky (Black Swan), the six-episode unscripted series was produced by Aronofsky’s Protozoa production company, Wild State, and Jane Root’s Nutopia.
