Queens (2024)

Queens redefined the wildlife documentary genre by centering the narrative on the powerful matriarchies of the natural world. Narrated by the iconic Angela Bassett, this National Geographic series broke traditional molds by highlighting the strength, strategic brilliance, and complex social structures of female leaders across various species. Its legacy lies in its production; led by an all-female team, the show challenged the male-centric history of nature filmmaking. By focusing on the Nasty Gal hyena clan and the wisdom of elephant elders, it provided a fresh lens on survival and cooperation. Though its initial run has concluded, its impact on environmental storytelling remains significant. To ensure you never miss a return to these wild kingdoms, set a reminder for any future revivals, spin-offs, or production news.
