Hearst Media Production Group to Unveil "Extraordinary World with Jeff Corwin" on CBS Soon
Hearst Media Production Group is set to launch an inspiring new series titled Extraordinary World with Jeff Corwin, premiering on January 4, 2025, specifically crafted for the CBS WKND program block. This original production, hosted by the esteemed Emmy®-winning conservationist Jeff Corwin, aims to spotlight everyday individuals who are making remarkable differences in various spheres such as animal advocacy, wildlife conservation, youth empowerment, and addressing food insecurity.
The half-hour weekly series will take viewers on a journey across various communities, showcasing acts of kindness and generosity that often go unnoticed. Viewers can expect to see Corwin visiting locales from Florida's pristine beaches to the bustling streets of New York City and Los Angeles, collaborating with the Brady Hunter Foundation to highlight key issues and stories that matter today.
The series will not just be an entertainment show; it will serve as a platform educating viewers about the challenges faced by vulnerable communities and the ways in which they can help. Each episode endeavors to illustrate that small gestures can result in significant impacts, reinforcing the idea that collective efforts can lead to notable changes in society.
"Through our partnership with The Brady Hunter Foundation, this uplifting series will delight and inspire viewers of all ages and is a perfect addition to the CBS WKND schedule," Bryan Curb, HMPG’s EVP and General Manager for education and information, commented. This sentiment resonates with the mission of the Brady Hunter Foundation. Its founder, Josh Fox, emphasized the foundation's commitment to giving a voice to the voiceless and driving initiatives that foster positive change in areas such as animal protection, child advocacy, and food security.
The Brady Hunter Foundation is notable for its proactive approach, already supporting over 70 causes through significant donations and civic engagement campaigns, thereby making a tangible difference in the lives of many individuals and animals both nationally and internationally. The foundation celebrated its first anniversary in February 2024, marking a successful year of philanthropy and community involvement.
In addition to airing on CBS, Extraordinary World with Jeff Corwin will be available for streaming on Paramount+, allowing broader access to its inspirational and educational content. HMPG continues to expand its dynamic programming portfolio, which includes over 30 original series and more than 5,000 hours of content each year, distributed in almost 100 countries.
As the series rolls out, viewers can look forward to a heartwarming and eye-opening experience that not only entertains but also educates about the urgency and importance of empathy and activism in today's world. With such a meaningful premise, Extraordinary World promises to resonate with audiences looking for positive content that encourages community engagement and support for pressing issues.
