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.

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.
