Comedian and television host Ellen Degeneres has embarked on a new television adventure with a starring role in her wildlife documentary, ‘Saving the Gorillas: Ellen’s Next Adventure’.
A year after The Ellen DeGeneres Show went off the air, its namesake is making her big comeback to television with a two-hour documentary special centering on gorilla conversation.
Set to be released on September 23, the programme will stream on the Discovery Channel, a day before World Gorilla Day. It will then air again on World Gorilla Day on September 24 on Animal Planet. The special will also stream on Discovery+ and Max.

The documentary is the latest venture of the well-known animal lover’s passion project, undertaken with her wife Portia, for protecting gorilla populations, which first manifested in The Ellen Degeneres Campus of the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund in Rwanda last year.
Saving the Gorillas follows the process and aftermath of building this facility, which sits adjacent to the Volcanoes National Park.
