The Americas are getting the star treatment.
NBC said Saturday it's ordered a 10-part series, 'œThe New World,'ť that will explore the wilderness and wildlife of North, Central and South America. It's set to air in 2024.

The series promises to take viewers on a journey across the land mass that is "home to the greatest variety of life on the planet,'ť NBC said in a release.
Veteran producer Mike Gunton ('œLife,'ť 'œPlanet Earth II") is making the series for BBC Studios Natural History Unit, in association with Universal Television Alternative Studio.
