World War II with Tom Hanks (Season 1)

World War II with Tom Hanks (2026) is an American documentary series you can watch online on iFILM. Tom Hanks — whose connection to WWII storytelling goes back decades — hosts and shapes this sweeping account of the deadliest conflict of the twentieth century, from the first Wehrmacht columns crossing into Poland to the mushroom clouds over Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Each episode focuses on a distinct dimension of the war: the turning-point battles on multiple fronts, the wartime calculations of Churchill and Roosevelt, the industrial machinery of total war, and the staggering human cost borne by soldiers and civilians alike. The series treats the timeline not as a parade of dates but as a chain of decisions — who made them, why, and what followed.
