Will Smith Embarks on Perilous Journey Across Seven Continents in New Docuseries 'Pole to Pole'
In a thrilling adventure, Oscar-winning actor Will Smith has spent 100 days traversing the world's most extreme environments, pushing his mental and physical resilience to the limit. The seven-part docuseries "Pole to Pole with Will Smith" follows his epic journey from the South Pole to the North Pole, showcasing breathtaking landscapes, heart-pounding challenges, and unforgettable encounters.
Smith's odyssey takes him through all seven continents, from the icy vastness of Antarctica to the lush jungles of the Amazon, the towering Himalayas, the scorching deserts of Africa, the Pacific Islands' crystal-clear waters, and the Arctic's frozen tundras. Along the way, he scuba dives under ice, climbs treacherous mountains, catches a giant anaconda, navigates through caves infested with tarantulas, and much more.
In an interview, Smith candidly revealed that this journey was unlike anything he'd ever undertaken before, admitting to moments where he feared not making it home. However, the experience also inspired him with awe and hope, as he encountered extraordinary people living at the planet's edges.
National Geographic's EVP of Content Tom McDonald described the series as a "thrilling adventure" that embodies the network's core values: stunning cinematography, powerful storytelling, and a deeper understanding of our world. The docuseries invites audiences to experience the world through Smith's eyes, with humor, wonder, and humanity.
The seven-part docuseries "Pole to Pole with Will Smith" premieres on January 13th on National Geographic, streaming globally on Disney+ the following day, and will also be available on Hulu in the United States.

. I think it's awesome that he got to experience so many different environments and meet incredible people along the way. It's not just about the adventure, but also about learning more about our world and its inhabitants.
. National Geographic has a great track record of producing stunning content, so I'm expecting some amazing visuals and stories. It's also awesome that it'll be available on Disney+ and Hulu, making it easy for people all over the world to tune in.
. As someone who loves travel and learning new things, I think this series is going to be a must-watch for me. Can't wait to see what Will Smith shares with us on his epic journey! 
I mean, who wouldn't want to watch Will Smith trekking through all seven continents? It sounds like an absolute adventure! But, gotta say, 100 days is a pretty long time to be on the road... I hope he's taking care of himself along the way. And what about all those extreme environments? I'm not sure I'd want to scuba dive under ice or catch anacondas with my hands (no offense Will!). Still, it sounds like an incredible experience and I love that it's promoting a deeper understanding of our world 
. Life is about taking chances and facing our fears, just like Will did on his adventure. It's gonna be so inspiring to watch him share this experience with the world 
I'm so stoked for this new docuseries! Will Smith is literally doing a crazy trek across all 7 continents? That's insane 
. The fact that it's on National Geographic and Disney+ makes me think this is gonna be a wild ride with some insane visuals too! Can't wait for January 13th! 
I'm low-key impressed by Will Smith's adventure 
. It's awesome that he got to experience all the different environments, but you know what would be even better? If they included more info on the people he met along the way 
. I mean, it sounds like they were super inspiring, but we don't get to hear much about them beyond just being "extraordinary". 
I mean Will Smith is crazy for taking on this challenge, 100 days straight sounds like a grueling test of endurance but the payoff must be amazing! 
And it's so cool that he got to meet people living at the edges of our planet, that's what makes this docuseries truly inspiring 
Can't wait to watch it on Disney+ and see all these breathtaking landscapes come to life 
I mean, can you even imagine trekking across SEVEN CONTINENTS?! 
The dude's always been about pushing himself and inspiring others, and this journey is no exception! 
. And let's be real, the guy's just SO COOL 
I'm totally binging this on January 13th 
i also wanna see the scuba diving part under ice, that sounds super spooky 
and what kinda tarantulas were they? 
btw did u hear about that new video game coming out?
