National Geographic Channel and Nat Geo Wild unveiled their 2015-2016 slates Wednesday at the company’s upfront event.
Highlights include Ron Howard and Brian Grazer‘s new anthology series “Breakthrough,” which is produced by Imagine Entertainment and Asylum Entertainment and explores science innovations, and miniseries “Saints & Sinners,” which Nat Geo describes as “the epic, untold story behind the founding of America and the men, women and children in search of a new life in an unexplored land.”
Both new series will run on the main network.
“This year’s upfront slate is a testament to our programming commitment to rise above the clutter, to keep true to our core and to deliver on the authenticity that our viewers crave and rely on,” said Tim Pastore, National Geographic Channel president of Original Programming and Production.
