“Secrets of the Whales,” the Disney+ docuseries that offers a deep dive on whale cultures, won the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Documentary or Nonfiction Series on Sunday afternoon.
The documentary series, which was filmed in two dozen locations over three years, premiered on Disney+ in April 2021. Disney’s description for the show reads:
“‘Secrets of the Whales’ plunges viewers deep within the epicenter of whale culture to experience the extraordinary communication skills and intricate social structures of five different whale species: Orcas, humpbacks, belugas, narwhals, and sperm whales. Throughout this epic journey, we learn that whales are far more complex and more like us than ever imagined.
The project beat out PBS’ “American Masters,” National Geographic’s “City So Real,” Netflix’s “Pretend It’s a City,” and HBO’s “Allen v. Farrow” for the Emmy — the latter of which was heavily favored to win.

Filmmaker James Cameron grew up 500 miles away from the nearest ocean, in the Canadian province of Ontario. But in recent decades he has become part “mer-man,” as his friend Sigourney Weaver describes him, plying ocean waters for a variety of documentary projects and even setting a diving record in a submersible vehicle when he plunged to the depths of the Marianas Trench.
As executive producer of the National Geographic documentary series Secrets of the Whales, Cameron helps expand our understanding of the ocean’s most majestic inhabitants.
“I went into it as a learning opportunity,” Cameron said during an appearance at Deadline’s Contenders TV: The Nominees awards-season event. “I think we all, collectively, on the show learned a great deal, not only about how to interact and photograph these amazing creatures but also just about their behavior — things that either weren’t known at all … or things that were...

National Geographic has canceled plans to hold an two-day Emmy showcase this weekend at the Westfield Century City mall, as concern grows over an uptick in Covid-19 infections and a rise in Delta variant cases.
The event included close discussions between nominees (including “Genius: Aretha” star Cynthia Erivo) and voters, which began to feel inappropriate given the fact that the state of Covid-19 seems to be going in the wrong direction. Nat Geo said it will continue with the virtual elements of its Emmy Phase Two FYC campaigns, and is still looking at other alternatives.
“Out of an abundance of caution, we are canceling our Nat Geo Emmy Showcase event that was scheduled for this Saturday, August 14 and Sunday, August 15 at Century City Mall,” the network said in a statement. “While we are disappointed to have to cancel for this weekend, we hope to schedule a future event where we can celebrate our Emmy nominees.

“It all had to be based in science,” explains Brian Skerry of the process behind his documentary series “Secrets of the Whales.” In conversations with scientists over the years, the producer “noticed this theme of culture emerging” when discussing whale behavior. The concept of “culture” was the perfect fit for his desire to complete a multi-species project with National Geographic. After much planning and three years of shooting on the ocean, “Secrets of the Whales” debuted on Disney+ and garnered three Emmy nominations, including Best Documentary or Nonfiction Series. Watch the exclusive video interview above.
Skerry has been a photographer for NatGeo for over 20 years, specializing in marine wildlife. The opportunity to follow specific whale families “was very special to me,” says Skerry. So the four episodes of the series told a family story, with installments focusing on Orcas, Belugas, Humpbacks, and Sperm Whales. He knew the habitats of these...

Renowned underwater photographer Brian Skerry was in for a big surprise when he went to document the rare behavior of orcas feeding on stingrays for the acclaimed Nat Geo/Disney + series “Secrets of the Whales.” “Here comes this adult female with a stingray hanging out of her mouth,” he recalled during a recent American Cinematheque Zoom conversation with composer Raphaelle Thibaut and “Talk Nerdy” podcaster Cara Santa Maria. “My mind is on overload. I just want to get the shot.”
But he’s heartbroken when she drops the ray. “I’m like ‘Oh, no. I didn’t get it.’ So, I swim down to the bottom, the ray is laying on the bottom of the sandy sea floor. I’m just waiting and kneeling on the bottom. The whale comes out of my right side of my vision and then positions herself directly in front of me with the ray in between us.

Cameron is the executive producer of Secrets of the Whales, a National Geographic series that will premiere on the Disney+ streaming platform on Earth Day, April 22.
“It’s the kind of challenging, daunting subject that appeals to me,” Cameron explained during a SXSW Conference panel Thursday titled “Ocean Storytelling.” “It’s also so important for people to understand and for this film to illuminate how these creatures think, how they feel, what their emotion is like, what their society is like, because we won’t protect what we don’t love.”
