Marvel star Jeremy Renner has also been added to the lineup as the narrator for “Incredible Animal Journeys.”

“The narrator’s voice is such a crucial part of what makes a Natural History series successful. Angela, Awkwafina, and Jeremy, each in their own way, bring such an enormous amount of charisma, personality, and passion to these distinctive projects,” Tom McDonald, executive vice president, Global Factual and Unscripted Content, National Geographic, said in a statement about the upcoming series.

McDonald added, “From Awkwafina’s wit to Jeremy’s warmth and Angela’s Shakespearean sense of drama, we feel both very excited and very proud to have such powerful storytellers guiding our audiences on these epic wildlife journeys.”
