Chris Hemsworth has taken fans by surprise with the launch of a new environmental docuseries, Planet Pulse, which premiered on a major streaming platform on August 26, 2025. Variety reported that the 42-year-old actor, best known as Thor in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, executive produced and narrates the six-part series, which explores innovative solutions to climate change. The announcement, teased only hours before on X, has sparked widespread excitement and praise.
Planet Pulse follows Hemsworth as he travels to remote ecosystems, from coral reefs to Arctic glaciers, spotlighting scientists and communities tackling environmental challenges. The series blends stunning visuals with personal insights from Hemsworth, who shares his passion for conservation, inspired by his Australian roots. Fans on X are buzzing, with one posting, “Chris Hemsworth in Planet Pulse is everything—Thor saving the planet for real!” Another wrote, “This docuseries is gorgeous and inspiring. Chris is using his platform so well.”
The debut comes amid Hemsworth’s busy year, including his return as Thor in an upcoming MCU project. His shift to environmental advocacy has resonated, though some X users noted the challenge of standing out in the docuseries space, with one commenting, “Love Chris, but hope this isn’t just another celeb passion project.” The series’ focus on actionable solutions has largely won over skeptics, earning praise from environmental groups.
As Planet Pulse gains traction, Hemsworth’s commitment to blending entertainment with impact is striking a chord. The series is poised to be a standout in 2025’s documentary landscape. For more on Hemsworth’s project and its impact, follow The Hollywood Reporter or National Geographic.
