Angela Bassett to Narrate National Geographic Wildlife Special

National Geographic's upcoming documentary, "The Flood," will be narrated by Angela Bassett, according to Variety. The documentary special is about animals living in the heart of Africa's Okavango Delta.

Surrounded by the Kalahari Desert, the delta is one of the world's last great wildernesses, and welcomes leopards, elephants, lions and hippos each year as the great flood returns water to the habitat. As the waters recede, the battle for survival begins.

Bassett said, "I found the stories of these resilient, beautiful animals so fascinating and relatable. I hope that viewers are drawn into this rarely seen kingdom in a way that inspires them to help protect it for years to come."

Bassett portrayed Tina Turner in "What's Love Got to Do With It" which landed her an Oscar nomination. She also starred as Queen Ramonda in the mega-blockbuster Marvel film "Black Panther." Bassett currently stars in Fox's drama "9-1-1."

The one-off natural history special will premiere on Nat Geo on November 25th. It will premiere internationally on the National Geographic and NAT GEO WILD channels in more than 170 countries.
