I don’t have live access to the latest news right now, but here’s what’s recently been reported about World War II-related projects involving Tom Hanks.

What’s new

• Tom Hanks is hosting a new World War II docu-series, World War II with Tom Hanks, produced for History channels in multiple regions, with Sky HISTORY in the UK and HISTORY Channel across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) as part of a global rollout.[4]
• A trailer and previews for the series were released, including coverage on ABC News and TIME, highlighting Hanks’s role as host and narrator and the series’ approach to revisiting WWII history with a contemporary lens.[5][7]
• Reports indicate the History Channel plans a multi-part exploration of World War II, with Hanks presenting and narrating, and the show slated to expand across several territories in 2026.[3][8]

• Hanks has previously been associated with WWII-themed content, including writing/producing and narrating work related to WWII narratives, most notably with Band of Brothers in the past, and now in a broader documentary format.[1]
• The new project appears to be positioned as a major documentary event, not a fictional feature, aiming to bring new dimensions to public understanding of WWII through interviews, archival material, and expert insights.[7][4]
