Is The Americas new tonight? (Sunday, March 9)
Yes, there's an all-new episode of The Americas airing at 8 p.m. ET on NBC tonight, Sunday, March 9. Tonight’s episode marks the series’ fifth installment — and it’s all new. Titled “The Frozen North,” it’s an intimate and snowy up-close look at the cold and austere winter wilderness; an environment where all kinds of wildlife — from polar bears to caribou — vie to survive and thrive against the harshest of natural odds.
Hanks has already suffused The Americas with an infectiously inquisitive spirit, a curious onlooker’s fascination at discovering the hidden secrets of the natural world that sprawls across two diverse continents. Through the stark and icy snowscapes of “The Frozen North,” his narrative voice is bound to come in handy as viewers explore the pack patterns of wild wolves, spy the predator-prey relationship between lynx and hare, and hear the songs of walruses amid their native coastal habitat.
