In celebration of World Oceans Day later this week, National Geographic revealed the trailer and key art for its epic six-part underwater discovery series OCEANXPLORERS. The breathtaking series will premiere Aug. 18 on National Geographic and all episodes will stream the next day on Disney+ and Hulu.

From National Geographic Explorer at Large James Cameron ("Avatar"), BBC Studios Natural History Unit ("Blue Planet II") and OceanX comes the most ambitious ocean adventure ever filmed.

The National Geographic series takes audiences aboard the OceanXplorer, OceanX's state-of-the-art scientific research and exploration vessel, to investigate the farthest frontiers of the world's oceans, 80% of which are entirely unknown. Armed with advanced technology, a hand-picked team of intrepid explorers and scientists, National Geographic Explorers and other ocean experts embark on a global odyssey to solve some of the ocean's greatest mysteries through the lives of its animals and their ecosystems. The ship sets sail on a grand adventure - traveling to the depths of the Atlantic in the Azores, diving into the shallows of the Bahamas and warm waters of the Caribbean before embarking north to the frigid arctic shores of Svalbard, Norway. OCEANXPLORERS provides an immersive look at an underwater world of wonder with incredible discoveries that push the boundaries of exploration and our understanding of the ocean like never before.

I watched the first episode and it was pretty enjoyable (except for one part) about humpback whales

The second episode, about sperm whales and what they eat, was pretty enjoyable too

Episodes 3 & 4 were just as interesting, with the first one being about a big shark species and the second one being about hammerhead sharks
