Launching in the U.S. and Mexico in February, ad-support channel Naturaleza Salvaje will offer a range of nature documentaries and series from the streamer’s content library, all translated and dubbed from English to Spanish.

Shows include Animal Armory, Super Senses: Wild Feats of Evolution, Wildest Africa, The Predators of Africa, Wild Slovakia, Seasons of the Sea, Wild Albania, Diving with Sharks: The Ultimate Guide and many more.

The Magellan VoiceWorks tech provides the streamer with what it calls “speedy, cost-effective transition and dubbing” generative AI-driven solution that means its library can be offered in most major languages. It was developed alongside Amazon Web Services and Mission Cloud, and will likely lead to Magellan pushing into new territories as the library becomes accessible in more languages.

MagellanTV built out its content library last year through deals with French distributor ZED and new shows such as Wild Arabia with former Shark Week presenter Nigel Marven.
