Exclusive: 'The Wild Ones' Is Apple TV+'s Next Intense Adventure Docuseries
Apple TV+

If you think you've seen every kind of nature documentary series, think again. In the next Apple TV+ series, The Wild Ones, a band of hardcore wildlife explorers will take cameras into places on the Earth that have never truly been captured on film before.

Focusing on Royal Marines Commando Aldo Kane, along with trap expert Declan Burley and cinematographer Vianet Djenguet, the series will span six different countries, with each episode focusing on different kinds of animals. Men's Journal is pumped to present a brand-new trailer for The Wild Ones, hitting Apple TV+ on July 11, 2025.

As the trailer teases, each episode of The Wild Ones will focus on a different type of animal. Here's how that shakes out:

  • Episode 1: Tigers
  • Episode 2: Bears
  • Episode 3: Rhinos
  • Episode 4: Gorillas
  • Episode 5: Leopards
  • Episode 6: Whales

As Aldo Kane points out at one point in the trailer, more people have gone into space than have explored a few spots in this series. 

All the animals on The Wild Ones are endangered, meaning there's a conservationist element to the series, as well as an adventure vibe. Along with The Long Way Home, Apple TV+ is killing it with ambitious documentary shows, and The Wild Ones looks to be a new kind of nature doc with a little more rough and tumble.

All episodes will be streaming on Apple TV+ on July 11, 2025.

Ex-Lakers Big Man Ready to Cut NBA Ties With New Contract

Ex-Lakers Big Man Ready to Cut NBA Ties With New Contract

It was the Lakers who, eight years ago, gave center Thomas Bryant his first crack at the NBA, putting him into the lineup after acquiring him in a draft trade with the Jazz. Bryant's Lakers career did not last that long--he was gone after one season--but he came back to L.A. in the summer of 2022 after a successful stint with the Wizards. That go-round with the Lakers did not go much better than the first, as Bryant averaged 12.3 points but was traded away in a massive deal at the 2023 deadline that saw the Lakers add Mo Bamba and Davon Reed. The Lakers had two cracks at Bryant but were not able to get his best from him. Bryant has since moved on to Denver, Miami and most recently, Indiana, where he has not been a big-time scorer, but has filled a role nicely in each of his stops. But, unable to drum up a new NBA contract, it looks like Bryant's next role will come overseas. That's according to a report from Telesport, which noted that the Greek team Panathinaikos is in direct contact about getting Bryant signed. From Sportando, which points out that Jonas Valanciunas agreed to, then backed out of a contract with the team: "The American center, born in 1997, played last season with the Indiana Pacers. He has appeared in 333 NBA games throughout his career. It would be a high-level addition for Panathinaikos, who, after the breakdown of negotiations with Valanciunas, are looking for a center to further raise the quality of their frontcourt."

Can LeBron James Be Traded to the Dallas Mavericks?

Can LeBron James Be Traded to the Dallas Mavericks?

This year’s NBA offseason could see a lightning strike in the near future. The Bleacher Report’s Eric Pincus has suggested a new, three-team trade between the Dallas Mavericks, Los Angeles Lakers and Brooklyn Nets that would send LeBron James, alongside his son Bronny James, to Dallas in a dramatic, yet significant deal to reshape all three teams’ futures. Here’s why. LeBron James to the Dallas Mavericks LeBron James opted into his $52.6 million player option for the 2025-26 NBA season. However, James’ decision was met with skepticism by several NBA executives. Some NBA insiders expected James, 40, to opt out and sign a one-plus-one deal. The decision drove chatter of possible discontent and a potential end to his Lakers run. James holds one of the NBA’s rare no-trade clauses. Therefore, James can decide where he would land. Multiple NBA insiders have said that the Dallas Mavericks are high on James’ list. Joining the Mavericks would allow James to reunite with Kyrie Irving, join forces with Anthony Davis again, and play under Jason Kidd, who served as an assistant coach during the Lakers’ 2020 NBA championship run. James, Mavericks Outlook LeBron James is 40 years old and will turn 41 on December 30, 2025. However, James is still playing like a top-tier NBA player. If the Dallas Mavericks acquire James, the Mavericks could receive star power, shot creation, and veteran leadership. A Mavericks goal appears to be winning while the team’s NBA championship window is still open. The Mavericks would receive LeBron James (via Lakers), Bronny James (via Lakers), Drew Timme (via Nets), Tyrese Martin (via Nets), a $1.8 million trade exception, and a $1.1 million trade exception. The Mavericks could benefit from a solid core of James, Anthony Davis, Kyrie Irving, Cooper Flagg and Dereck Lively II. The Lakers would receive Daniel Gafford (via Mavericks), PJ Washington (via Mavericks), Naji Marshall (via Mavericks), Caleb Martin (via Mavericks), Jaden Hardy (via Mavericks), a 2030 Los Angeles Lakers second-round pick (via Nets), a 2031 Los Angeles Lakers second-round pick (via Nets) and a $24.1 million trade exception. The Lakers could start the Luka Doncic era. The Brooklyn Nets would receive Dalton Knecht (via Lakers), Maxi Kleber (via Lakers), Olivier-Maxence Prosper (via Mavericks) and Dwight Powell (via Mavericks). The Nets would serve as a facilitator, as the team would acquire assets while helping two contenders shift money around, and perhaps cash considerations. Final Thoughts It’s highly unlikely that LeBron James will be traded to the Dallas Mavericks. However, nothing can be ruled out. The NBA world saw the Luka Doncic trade to the Los Angeles Lakers this past February, and if they’re old enough to remember, the Jason Kidd trade to the Phoenix Suns in December 1996. If and when James is traded to Dallas, James’ presence can help the Mavericks succeed. James can help improve team chemistry, instill confidence in the team, and build a winning culture. James can play multiple positions as a forward, but a huge concern would be James’ declining gameplay and shooting stats.

Drew McIntyre’s SummerSlam Match in Jeopardy After Passport Issues Leave Him Stranded in London

Drew McIntyre’s SummerSlam Match in Jeopardy After Passport Issues Leave Him Stranded in London

Having kept his word of attending a friend’s wedding in London, Drew McIntyre, as of press time, has yet to land back in the United States. ‘The Scottish Warrior’ revealed on X that he’s stranded in the capital city of England after not being allowed to board his flight back to America. For the unversed, McIntyre wasn’t carrying a physical copy of his US visa. The officers at the airport told the Scot that they’re aware of his identity and that he’d been living in the US for a number of years now. Moreover, the Ayr-born wrestler showed his passport online, but to no avail. McIntyre and his wife had started panicking over the situation, as the couple was drastically worried about their cats being alone in their US home. It’s quite the week I have had. You wanna know how it has capped off? I can’t get back to America. They wouldn’t let me board my flight….I’m in England still! Planning to go back and train for SummerSlam, but no, no, no, I got blocked! Drew McIntyre via X After updating his whereabouts, McIntyre then turned this issue into kayfabe and targeted Jelly Roll. Moreover, he vowed to beat him up in their upcoming SummerSlam clash in New York. The Scot had recently issued some warning shots for the Grammy-nominated artist after last Friday’s SmackDown. When this is all over, and I’m going to get back, I’m going to drop you, Jelly Roll. I’m going to make you pay, and eventually, you are going to gain all of that weight back, and you’re going to look like one of these (cows). Drew McIntyre via X Additionally, the former WWE Champion somehow convinced his better half to board the flight alone and reach home as soon as she could. McIntyre was on his way to London, so he decided to unload on Roll and his partner, Randy Orton. Both of them will have to tear through the synergy of the Scot and his aide, Logan Paul, this Saturday. But will McIntyre make it back to the US in time to compete at SummerSlam? PWInsider has reported that it’s a real issue that WWE is dealing with at the moment. Drew McIntyre and Logan Paul hilariously discuss their tag team name If everything works out well by this weekend, Drew McIntyre and Logan Paul will team up for the first time in their WWE careers at SummerSlam. But have they come up with an official team name yet? This discussion broke out during the Scot’s recent appearance on Paul’s IMPAULSIVE podcast. McIntyre said that the two of them haven’t really thought it over. However, the former 3MB member admitted that the ‘Maverick Warriors’ could be one of the potential names. That sounded too commonplace for them to concur with. McIntyre proceeded on to claim that he likes something that would drive the internet crazy. That made him utter that he and Paul could be some sort of rage baiters. ‘The Maverick’ joined the party and suggested ‘Master Baiters’. McIntyre agreed that they could have some fun with it. He then quipped how Triple H usually waits for him to get backstage whenever the Scot comes up with any of those uncanny insinuations during WWE shows. ‘The Scottish Warrior’ affirmed that he usually retorts by reminding ‘The Game’ what kind of stuff he was involved in during the Attitude Era. Both McIntyre and Paul talked about how easy it was to push the envelope and resort to profanity back in the day, in today’s comparison. Drew McIntyre’s shambolic win/loss record in 2025 continues to anger the fans One will have to turn the clock back to April to dig out Drew McIntyre‘s last singles win that didn’t need a DQ. It was at WrestleMania 41 when ‘The Scottish Psychopath’ dispatched Damian Priest in a Sin City Street Fight. Their beef wasn’t settled, and they entered the US title picture while retaining their animosity for each other. At Backlash, the two of them participated in a US title Fatal 4-Way match also featuring LA Knight and the then-US Champion, Jacob Fatu. McIntyre’s back of the head had a rough landing during one of the spots in that match, which was executed by Priest. The latter also suffered a minor dental injury. They eventually had a steel cage match at Saturday Night’s Main Event to put an end to their long-standing rivalry, which McIntyre lost. He remained absent from WWE programming for over a month and returned to lose against Randy Orton. In a nutshell, McIntyre’s substandard booking pattern has continued to hurt his stock in 2025.

Oilers Could Offer a Veteran Forward a Better Shot… Somewhere Else

Oilers Could Offer a Veteran Forward a Better Shot… Somewhere Else

Despite already making several roster moves this summer, the Edmonton Oilers might not be done just yet. According to Oilers Now host Bob Stauffer, the team could be considering another trade to trim its forward group. “The Oilers already got a lot of forwards right now,” he noted last week. “They might be moving a guy out.” Edmonton has retooled up front following several departures in free agency and trades. The additions of Andrew Mangiapane, Isaac (Ike) Howard, Matt Savoie, and Curtis Lazar were made to help fill those gaps, but there are questions about whether another top-six winger—and possibly a goaltender—are still needed to push the team back into Stanley Cup contention. In order to bring in more help — or at least create the cap room to discuss another move — someone may need to go. Would Henrique Be Open to a Bigger Role and Security Elsewhere? Despite having a no-move clause, Adam Henrique’s name continues to surface when it comes to a roster change. The Oilers are limited in what they can do unless an option he likes pops up. Set to earn $3 million this season, the veteran center may find himself bumped to the fourth line, a pricey role given internal options like Lazar or Noah Philp. The key to any move might be conving him that he’d have a great opportunity to increase his role and earn another contract on a different roster. The Oilers asked Henrique if he’d be open to waiving his no-trade clause. He declined. Whether they’ll revisit that idea down the line if he’s relegated to limited minutes remains to be seen. At 35 years old, Henrique might not have many years left. That said, a two or three-year deal somewhere would help him finish off his career, and he’s not likely to get that in Edmonton. How much does a chance to win trump landing somewhere that wants him and is willing to extend him? If not Henrique, Mattias Janmark is the easier forward to move. With no trade protection and a $1.45 million cap hit, the 32-year-old could be the odd man out—especially after a lackluster offensive year and a recent minor injury. Kasperi Kapanen, also without trade protection, appears safe after signing a new deal this summer. That said, if things start slowly and neither Henrique nor Janmark are moved, the Oilers could explore a Kapanen trade.
