These overlooked superstars come in all sizes, shapes, and smells. They&#8217;re the outcasts and the troublemakers, brash, unsophisticated, flatulent, incontinent, and often unhinged. But they&#8217;re also warriors, team players, and evil geniuses. They&#8217;re out there 24-7 giving it maximum effort, keeping the natural world in working order for all those showboating polar bears, sharks, and gorillas.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;UNDERDOGS represents an entirely fresh take on the natural history genre that is sure to delight and inform audiences of all ages, said Monroe. &#8220;With Ryan and Maximum Effort&#8217;s irreverent spirit and Wildstar&#8217;s award-winning expertise in wildlife storytelling, we have assembled the perfect team to tell the entertaining stories of nature&#8217;s unsung heroes with both humor and heart.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I love nature series and I love making things my kids can actually watch,&#8221; said Reynolds. &#8220;We&#8217;re already having a lot of fun trying to bring a new voice to animal docs. Wildstar has the expertise, experience, and cutting-edge film tech to help us chew up that healthy National Geographic budget. We&#8217;ll deliver a show that is entertaining, surprising, and will do justice to animals usually stuck as supporting cast.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Added Dan Rees, Wildstar executive producer, &#8220;UNDERDOGS explores the animal world with a fresh, fun, and highly entertaining perspective. Partnering so closely with Ryan and Maximum Effort has allowed us to bake in their inimitable humor every step of the way &#8211; from conception to delivery of this unique series. As a result, UNDERDOGS will make you snort with laughter and possibly even spill your coffee on your lap, but ultimately it puts a new spotlight on some of the weirder and less explored denizens of our planet, and all underpinned by sound science and research.&#8221;<\/p><div id=\"morty-2888970279\" class=\"morty-content_2\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;text-align: center;\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-4937602850188786\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4937602850188786\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"5227734695\" \ndata-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\ndata-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<p>From National Geographic Content, UNDERDOGS will be produced by Wildstar Films and Maximum Effort.
