Save the date and the pant-hoots for October 16!

We could not be more excited to share all of the behind-the-scenes chimp shenanigans with Disney+ viewers in this fun and inspiring six-part series, narrated by Emmy Award-winning actress Jane Lynch. Below is a description of what you can expect:

โ€œMeet the Chimpsโ€ takes viewers into the secret life of one of the largest and most unique wildlife sanctuaries in the world โ€“ Chimp Havenโ€”a 200-acre refuge tucked deep in the forested heart of Louisiana, which is home to more than 300 chimpanzees. Narrated by Emmy Award-winning actress Jane Lynch, this six-part series, from National Geographic, tracks the ups and downs of this extraordinary group of chimps that are given a second chance at life by a staff whose dedication, compassion and commitment knows no bounds. Through a seamless blend of natural history and observational-documentary filmmaking, โ€œMeet the Chimpsโ€ puts the chimps โ€“ the heart and soul of the series โ€“ at front and center. A real-life drama with a full emotional range, the series gives unparalleled access to everything happening at Chimp Haven, including food squabbles, alliances, romances, โ€˜bromancesโ€™, tears, tantrums, high jinxes and heartbreaks.

Keep an eye out in the coming weeks for more about the series and ways that you can connect with the sanctuary around the launch.
