In an effort to revitalize nature documentaries, Linfield and Berlowitz shifted their focus to lesser-known creatures, often overlooked due to their lack of mainstream appeal. The duo subsequently collaborated with Ryan Reynolds, known for his comedic flair, to narrate the series. Their goal was to blend scientific accuracy with humor, maintaining an edgy tone that stood apart from traditional nature programming. The collaboration proved fruitful, resulting in a unique series that showcases the intriguing lives of nature's underrated creatures, bringing exciting stories to light in an entertaining way.
"There is a sense after awhile that you're playing the same animals to the same people, and the shows are starting to look the same and so is your audience," Linfield told Ars.
"Once Linfield and Berlowitz decided to focus on nature's underdogs and to take a more humorous approach, Ryan Reynolds became their top choice for a narrator-the anti-Richard Attenborough."
