Tom Hanks, known for his work in producing documentary series and his involvement in projects related to U.S. history, is set to return to the small screen with a new venture. The acclaimed actor and producer will be hosting and narrating a 20-part documentary series on the History Channel focusing on World War II. This marks a significant return to the historical genre for Hanks, who previously worked on the acclaimed miniseries 'Band of Brothers' that aired in 2001.
The upcoming documentary series, which is currently untitled, will draw on new scholarship and archival material to provide fresh insights into the events of World War II. This project is part of A+E Networks' ambitious lineup of 2,500 hours of new programming that will be unveiled during the company's upcoming presentation.
