More than 3,000 top-notch documentaries and episodes from almost every genre are available on MagellanTV. Every week, the service adds new programming. Without registering, you can explore the website and enjoy a five-minute preview of any documentary you like.
Life Is One: Growing Up Sunbear, which tells the tale of three bear cubs transitioning from life in captivity to life in the wild, is one of the top shows on MagellanTV. For 4K space movies, there are also curated documentary sections. One such selection is Hubble Eye in the Sky 4K, a stunning examination of how the Hubble telescope transformed our understanding of astronomy and the cosmos. The library also has true crime movies and television shows, such as Customs, a reality program that follows Customs Agents in the UK who try to thwart smuggling schemes. With programs like Germany from Above, Spain from Above, and Italy from Above, which cover some of each country’s most interesting destinations from a bird’s eye view, you can even put together a stay-at-home trip guide.
MagellanTV doesn’t make its own shows or movies. Instead, you have access to independent, informative, full-length documentaries that have been gathered from international broadcasters like the BBC and that you have probably never seen before. Many of the documentaries have expert narrators, including renowned art critic Waldemar Januszczak, who provides his voice for The Impressionists series. Try Netflix or Hulu if you’re seeking popular documentaries and docuseries with celebrity narration.
