'Secrets of the Penguins' launches this month on Nat Geo, Disney+ and Hulu, and here's an exclusive clip and interview with the key players behind it.

Blake Lively ‘s voice can heard explaining how penguins make a “turbulent entry” into wave-battered caves at the end of the Namib desert to avoid hungry jackals and find safe havens to raise their young and life partners for themselves. Martin Williams, founder of Secrets of the Penguins maker Talesmith, recalled how rumors of free-diving chicks had emerged through satellite evidence, but that his crew, led by cinematographer and lead storyteller Bertie Gregory, were the first to capture it happening on film. As for Nat Geo’s latest natural history take, Secrets of the Penguins will be followed by Underdogs, a series in which the unique and unpredictable behaviors of little-known animals are profiled, with Lively’s husband, Ryan Reynolds, providing the narration.
