What Time Is Tonight's New Episode of The Americas? (March 16, 2025)
As Tom Hanks will tell you, there's a lot happening in “The Gulf Coast.”
NBC's The Americas is certainly making good on its promise to cover the entirety of the continents that give the hit nature docuseries its title.
In this week's installment, Academy Award-winning narrator Tom Hanks (Forrest Gump, Toy Story) trades the frigid temperatures of the "The Frozen North" for the humid, subtropical climate of "The Gulf Coast," which spans several U.S. states -- Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida -- where you'll get acquainted with the amazing activities of manatees, burrowing owls, blind salamanders, and more.

"One of the appeals of doing this series was because of the scale, variety, and diversity of habitats and animals," the show's award-winning executive producer Mike Gunton (Life, Planet Earth II, Dynasties) said in a recent interview with Cherry the Geek TV. "The biggest challenge is every time you go and shoot something, it's an expedition. Every single one has to be bespoke for that habitat, that animal, that location. Unfortunately, there's no one size fits all. I don't know how the logistics team on this series did it. It's extraordinary. I've done a lot of these shows and I think this is by far the most challenging one that I've worked on in terms of the range of logistics."
