What Time Is Tonight's New Episode of The Americas? (March 30, 2025)
Someone get Jack Sparrow on the horn, because tonight's episode of The Americas is headed for the tropical environs of "The Caribbean." Prepare yourself for palm trees, crystal-clear water, and plenty of blazing sunshine, filled with everything from sperm whales and capuchin monkeys to lightning-fast sailfish and hummingbirds.
"We chose the hot spots which we felt had an identity and a signature, and possibly places people had heard about," the show's award-winning executive producer Mike Gunton ( Life , Planet Earth II , Dynasties ) told NBC Insider earlier this month. "I think it's an enjoyable thing to be enticed by something that you want to find out more."

"I'm not ashamed about anthropomorphism," Gunton explained while discussing the topic of ascribing human attributes to the wildlife shown onscreen. "We're all animals and you see in an animal's reaction to something — in their face, in their behavior, in their actions — concern and all the things that we think are just purely human. But they're not. If you spend any time with animals, you can see that. So, I think you let the animals and the pictures and the stories sort of speak for themselves, rather than imposing on that some other kind of subtext, which historically is probably less successful."
