Episode Details

Jon Favreau and Hans Zimmer team up for National Geographic’s groundbreaking four-part docu-series “Lion,” following a real lion cub named Kio as he rises from cubhood to king of the Maasai Mara. With Zimmer’s iconic score echoing the classic film and four years of intimate footage, it’s a raw, roaring hero’s journey — complete with claws, no singing, and a conservation mission. Disney’s “Protect the Pride” campaign has already pledged $5 million to lion recovery efforts. Premieres August 19 on National Geographic, streaming August 20 on Disney+ and Hulu, with the soundtrack dropping August 21.
