Including the Nat Geo series 'Welcome to Earth' producers Nutopia and Protozoa Pictures, Smith will executive produce the 'Pole to Pole' via his Westbrook banner along with the company's Miguel Melendez and Terence Carter; Nutopia's Jane Root and Peter Lovering; and Protozoa's Darren Aronofsky and Ari Handel.
The show will film over more than 100 days; a start date and premiere haven't yet been announced.
'Pole to Pole' is one of several series orders Nat Geo announced during its time before the Television Critics Association on Monday. They include projects produced by James Cameron, Jon Favreau and the BBC Studios Natural History Unit and an adventure show starring magician David Blaine.
