Tom Hanks is delighted he got to be a part of the documentary The Americas.

Hanks has narrated the upcoming ten part docuseries that brings the natural beauty of the Americas to TV. The series took five years to film and 180 expeditions across the Atlantic Coast, Mexico, Wild West, Amazon, Frozen North, Gulf Coast, Andes, Caribbean, West Coast, and Patagonia.

"It's an hour of discovery. You will be enthralled, enlightened, educated and — foremost — entertained," Hanks gushed to People, and teased, "new species, new intimate courtship, dramatic deep sea hunting and some of nature’s strangest stories."

He also revealed that there’s no CGI in the documentary. "Nothing in here has been created inside the magic of the camera, absolutely nothing at all. This is TV at its absolute best, because — number one — you can't make this stuff up. It's the truth. It's real.”

"Carefree youngsters — cubs, otters, pups, chicks, owls — learning how to do whatever they do for the first time," the Forrest Gump star said. "It seems like all of creation seeks some form of contact, affection, and togetherness that is undeniably a part of their behavior."

"I knew that I would be learning an awful lot. I wanted to be on the front line. I feel lucky to be a part of this extraordinary project - of capturing something that is so real that it's irrefutable to anybody who watches it. And it's just glorious to be a part of that," he added.

Narrated by Tom Hank, The Americas features music from Han Zimmer and will premiere on February 23.
