When it comes to Nat Geo’s global content strategy, Bernstein and Daniels are two sides of a very valuable coin—churning out diverse and interesting programming that’s always on-brand. Consider that fewer than three years after Bernstein formed the National Geographic Documentary Films banner, her and Daniels’ support of Feras Fyyad’s stirring Syria documentary “The Cave” helped the film garner an Oscar nomination only months after virus thriller “The Hot Zone” starring Julianna Margulies became one of Nat Geo’s biggest scripted shows across the globe (and that was pre-pandemic for those wondering if these two have psychic powers). As series like “Hostile Planet” and “Life Below Zero” continue to make waves, a fresh new take on food adventurism took hold with “Gordon Ramsey: Uncharted,” which became Nat Geo’s top series of the summer, engaging 25 million viewers across platforms and accounting for nearly 75% of the network’s programming views on Hulu.
