Dylan Dreyer had some big news to share with her social media followers this week, and it's happening very soon!
The Today Show host was busy in the summer filming the new season of Earth Odyssey for NBC, and the time has finally arrived to see it air on TV.
Taking to Instagram on Thursday, the Misty the Cloud author shared a preview of the new series, along with the following message: "Mark your calendars! #EarthOdyssey with @dylandreyernbc returns on October 5th with brand new episodes.
"Dive into the wonders of the natural world with us and get ready to be amazed by its wildlife! Tune in on your local NBC station."
Fans were quick to express their joy at the return of the popular show, with one writing: "So excited our whole family watches!" while another wrote: "Awesome, can’t wait! Amazing photography, amazing narration, amazing show!" A third added: "Queen of the jungle!"
Dylan fitted in filming Earth Odyssey during her time off from the Today Show in July. The mom-of-three had gone to Turks and Caicos with her husband Brian Fichera and their three sons, Calvin, Oliver and Rusty, and took a trip to LA to film the series before heading back home to New York.
Dylan has been hosting Earth Odyssey since 2019, alongside her role on the Today Show. She has also written several best-selling children's book as part of the Misty the Cloud franchise, and most recently, co-hosted People's Country Choice Awards in Nashville.

She wrote: "This is my favorite picture of @hodakotb Ollie was having a meltdown, no one could soothe him, Hoda picks him up, wraps her arm around him, and he wrapped his right around her too.

I love you Hoda and I applaud you for trusting your gut and making this next step in your life. You do everything with enthusiasm and I can't wait to watch you soar!"
