Always on the hunt for new wildlife programming, Nat Geo Wild has ordered three-part event series “Kingdom of the White Wolf,” news that TheWrap reported exclusively as part of the cable channel’s 2019-20 slate. We’ve also got your first look at the Arctic-set specials.

In our exclusive preview video from the Market Road Films production, which is set to premiere in August, a pack of 10 white wolves are experiencing “the best, and possibly last, day of their lives,” narrator Ronan Donovan tells us. After playtime, comes the hunt — and this is the young pups’ first opportunity to see mom and dad do their thing.

Here’s the deal, though: Those musk oxen are in herd formation themselves.

Nat Geo will unveil its 2019-20 programming slate on Tuesday, presenting as part of new parent company Disney’s upfront event. For those who can’t wait that long to walk on the “Wild” side, TheWrap can exclusively reveal Nat Geo Wild’s news now.

For starters, “The Incredible Dr. Pol,” “Dr. Oakley: Yukon Vet,” “Dr. K’s Exotic Animal ER” and “Snake City” have all been renewed. For “Dr. Pol,” Nat Geo Wild’s longest-running and highest-rated series, the next run will mark its 16th season.

You’ll notice a lot more Pol programming in the slate, including two events, “12 Days of Pol” and “4th of Pol-y.” What a treat. That’s a little vet humor.
