Nat Geo's 'Wolves Up Close' Follows Bertie Gregory to Hudson Bay

National Geographic has released a first-look clip of "Wolves Up Close with Bertie Gregory," a documentary that follows filmmaker Bertie Gregory to Hudson Bay, Canada, as he documents wolves through the Arctic winter, according to a preview video published by ABC News on Nov. 6, 2026.

What does the documentary show?

The clip, hosted on ABC News' video platform, describes a production built around "rare wolf behaviors" recorded during what the outlet calls "the harsh Arctic winter" near Hudson Bay, Canada. ABC News did not specify which behaviors appear in the footage or how long the production took to film, and no transcript or additional detail beyond the short description was included with the preview.

Where was the documentary filmed?

The location given by ABC News is Hudson Bay, Canada, a region of the Canadian Arctic known for extreme winter conditions. The network's description ties the project's premise directly to that geography, framing the wolves' winter survival in the bay region as the documentary's central subject.

Who is capturing the footage?

ABC News credits the project to Bertie Gregory, who the network says "captures" the wolf behavior featured in the film. The preview does not include additional biographical detail about Gregory, nor does it name other crew members, scientists or National Geographic staff attached to the production. The documentary's title, "Wolves Up Close with Bertie Gregory," is the only identifying credit included in the source material reviewed.

What else did ABC News highlight alongside the preview?

The wolf documentary clip appeared in the same Nov. 6, 2026, video lineup as other wildlife-related ABC News segments, including footage of two giant pandas, Ping Ping and Fu Shuang, making their debut at a zoo in Atlanta, and a separate video described as "an introduction to Arizona's Chiricahua National Park." Both items ran alongside the wolf preview in ABC News' published video feed, though the network did not link the three segments editorially beyond their shared placement.

When was the preview released, and what is not yet known?

ABC News dated the clip Nov. 6, 2026. The source material does not include a premiere date for the full documentary, a runtime, or confirmation of which National Geographic platform will carry it. It also does not specify whether Gregory worked with a production team, how many days or weeks the shoot lasted, or what specific wolf behavior — hunting, denning, pack movement or otherwise — the "rare" footage depicts. Those details were not part of the preview description made available by ABC News, and no additional National Geographic statement accompanied the clip in the material reviewed for this report.
