Meet the Chimps: trailer

Wildlife series Meet the Chimps, narrated by Jane Lynch, premieres on Disney+ next week.

The six part series from National Geographic is filmed at Chimp Haven—an 80 hectare refuge in  Louisiana, which is home to more than 300 chimpanzees.

Narrated by Emmy Award-winning actress Jane Lynch, the six-part series tracks the ups and downs of an 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, “Meet the Chimps” puts the chimps – the heart and soul of the series – at front and centre. 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, ‘bromances’, tears, tantrums, high jinxes and heartbreaks.

Friday, October 16 on Disney+.
