Will Smith, who faced major setback in career after slapping Chris Rock, seemingly back on track with latest docuseries.

The 57-year-old struggled with a comeback as he tried to appear in shows, release a flop album and host concerts that were allegedly filled with AI-generated crowd.

However, it appears that 2026 is the year Will seemingly bounces back with Pole to Pole, a new show where he takes on challenges for 100 days.

In a recent video on Instagram, the Men in Black actor can be seen fully covered as he remains adamant to “officially get the seventh stamp in my passport” from seven continents.

He points out to the South pole as he plans to head to the “Visitor’s centre” where he stamped his own travelling document.

The online community shared their reviews of the series as one of the followers admitted “loving this show,” requesting to join him on the “wild adventure.”

Another netizen was of the opinion that “Pole to Pole was absolutely amazing,” insisting that the Hollywood A-list should release “more episodes.”

A fan admitted they are “living my travel dreams vicariously through Will right now.”

What is the lawsuit against Will Smith?

Recently, the Aladdin star was slammed with a lawsuit from his violinist Brian King, who accused the singer of “sexual harassment, grooming and wrongful termination.”
