Epic, right? And that’s just scratching the surface of what’s to come. Says Courteney Monroe, president of National Geographic Content, “Following a year where Taylor, Beyoncé, and Barbie dominated the zeitgeist, Queens continues the conversation to showcase that this is not a passing trend but a testament to the universality of female power.”
And indeed it is. The seventh episode of Queens takes viewers behind the scenes to showcase the women helping to rescue and nurture various species (wait till you see them with the bonobos) and those who are finally getting their chance to break through the natural history space.
“Because of the model that National Geographic backed with us, they invested in diversity and inclusion,” Berlowitz says. “They allowed us to pay for these women who weren’t necessarily able to immediately contribute footage to the show, but to come on the shoots and be trained and then contribute. My husband and I then set up the Wildstar Academy on that model. And we are now financing women from across the world to go on shoots across all our shows.”
But for now, the focus is on Queens, and fascinating animals and humans you’ll meet in these seven episodes. Below, see some of the stunning photographs taken during filming as well as more info on how to watch the series.
