DATES

Television series “Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom Protecting the Wild” will premiere on RFD-TV and WildKingdom.com on Monday, January 2, 2023, at 1 p.m. ET. The series will be hosted by Peter Gros, co-host of the original “Wild Kingdom,” which marks the 60th year anniversary of the original show’s debut in 1963.

Since the original show’s network television premiere, “Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom” has been regarded as one of the most respected wildlife programs in television, paving the way for unscripted television to explore new areas and multiple conservation efforts across the nation. Ten episodes of the new series are set to air from January through April.

“For many viewers, ‘Wild Kingdom’ was more than a Sunday night ritual; it ignited a movement for wildlife conservation,” said Gros. “Our hope is that the new ‘Wild Kingdom’ series will reach a new generation of people passionate about their commitment to preserving the natural world.”
