Jeff Corwin returns to national television with a new wildlife conservation series, “Jeff Corwin’s Southern Wild.” The program debuts Saturday, October 3, airing on ABC stations nationwide, and is presented as Corwin’s next national TV project after his previous work as a conservationist, host, and executive producer.

Variety and PR Newswire both report the same premiere date and network rollout across ABC affiliates. Variety adds that the series is filmed in North Carolina and follows wildlife and local cultures from the Appalachian Mountains to the Atlantic coast. PR Newswire frames Corwin as an Emmy-winning conservationist and highlights the series as a fall return to broadcast television, including the availability of a trailer.

Across the sources, the focus is consistent on the return to national TV, the title, and the October 3 launch, with differences mainly in added production and setting details. Neither source provides information beyond the launch timing and filming region/cultural scope.
