Tom Hanks’ WWII Documentary Series Sets Memorial Day Premiere on History Channel

WWII historian and sometimes actor Tom Hanks has a new documentary series set at History channel reexamining the Second World War through a modern lens. Across 20 episodes (in 200 territories and 40 languages), World War II with Tom Hanks will offer “a sweeping and definitive retelling” of the deadliest war in history. There are probably spoilers.

History channel’s D-Day, the series’ premiere date, is appropriately set for Memorial Day.

In addition to Hanks, the WWII series is executive produced by Gary Goetzman and Pulitzer-Prize winning historian Jon Meacham. Production houses are Nutopia (EPs: Ben Goold, Jane Root and Steve Condie) and A+E Factual Studios Group (EPs: Sharon Scott, Steve Ascher, Matt Pearl and Andy Seestedt) in association with Motion Entertainment (EP: Chet Fenster). History channel executive prodcers are Eli Lehrer, Mary E. Donahue and Jennifer Wagman.
