In between award-winning blockbusters and breaking box office records, James Cameron is probably doing one thing: exploring the world’s oceans, and inadvertently changing underwater and remote vehicle filming as we know it. In his latest endeavor, he teams up with Nat Geo and OceanX on OceanXplorers.
Where to watch OceanXplorers
OceanXplorers premieres live on Nat Geo on Sunday, August 18, 2024, at 9:00 PM ET, with an episode following every week. Each episode streams the day after on Disney+ and Hulu.
There are three ways to watch OceanXplorers: live on Nat Geo, or streaming the next day on Disney+ and Hulu.
OceanXplorers on Nat Geo
You can watch OceanXplorers on Nat Geo without cable on one of these cord-cutting services. Note that availability varies by region for Hulu with Live TV and Fubo.
Fubo
Designed for the ultimate sports fan, Fubo is an on-demand and live TV service that streams games from multiple leagues including the NFL, NBA, MLB, and the Premier League. You can get up to 215 live channels on your lineup, which includes coverage on RSNs and local stations, though you might have to pay extra if you want premium entertainment channels like Starz and Showtime.
Hulu with Live TV
Combining the best of streaming and cable, Hulu with Live TV pairs Hulu’s original programming like Only Murders in the Building, imports like Normal People, and licensed ABC shows like Modern Family with live TV channels like CNN, CBS, and TCM to give you an all-in-one TV package. The plans start at $77/month (with ads), but for an additional fee, you can upgrade to a bundle that removes commercials and throws in Disney+ and ESPN+ to the mix.
YouTube TV
Often dubbed as the best cordless replacement to cable, YouTube TV is a live TV streaming platform that gives you access to more than 100 channels, sporting events, local channels, unlimited DVR space, and up to three simultaneous streams. But what really gives YouTube TV its edge is customization; depending on your needs, you can easily add premium channels like HBO, sports channels like NFL Redzone, and Spanish channels like Unimas to your preferred lineup.
Fubo Elite
If you're a sports fan looking to cover all your bases, Fubo Elite has more than 256 channels and 130 live events that cover sports of all kinds, from basketball to cricket to golf. Channels include ESPN, CBS Sports Network, FS1 and FS2, beIN Sports, NFL Network, all the BIG Networks, and more. Depending on where you live, you should also have all the major local networks like ABC, CBS, NBC, and FOX. Even though Fubo Elite is a notch above the basic tier, with unlimited DVR and simultaneous screens, it still notably does not have Turner channels like CNN, TNT, and TBS.
OceanXplorers on Hulu
As one of the big three of streaming, there’s no need to introduce Hulu. Here is a refresher and a link to subscribe:
Hulu
Hulu may be on the cheaper side at just $7.99/month, but the on-demand streaming service boasts an ever-growing catalog of original series like The Handmaid’s Tale, primetime hits like Modern Family, and BBC imports like Killing Eve. It’s also where you’ll find FX’s critically acclaimed titles like Atlanta, Fargo, and Reservation Dogs. Hulu runs on ads, but if you can’t stand commercials, you can go ad-free for $17.99/month.
What are OceanXplorers exploring?
Oceans, of course. OceanXplorers first heads to the Dominican Republic in the Caribbean to unearth the North Atlantic humpback whale’s secrets. Afterwards, they head to the Azores, to chase elusive sperm whales and the prehistoric sixgill shark. They continue their journey to the beautiful Bimini in the Bahamas for the great hammerhead shark, then to colder waters closer to the Arctic ice cap for Svalbard’s polar bears, bowhead whales, and the deep-sea Greenland shark.
All six parts are available to watch on Hulu and Disney+
With Disney assuming control of Fox’s controlling stake in National Geographic, all six parts of OceanXplorers are available on Hulu and Disney+.
