“Pompeii: Tom Hiddleston in Out of Time on Disney+ Hulu”

National Geographic is set to release POMPEII: OUT OF TIME WITH TOM HIDDLESTON, a three-part docudrama premiering on July 23 on Disney+ and Hulu. The series combines cinematic scripted drama with investigative documentary storytelling to explore the final hours of Pompeii before and during the eruption of Mount Vesuvius.

Tom Hiddleston, known for his role in “Loki,” joins forces with executive producer Kevin R. Wright to guide viewers through ancient Rome as they uncover evidence and stories of real people from Pompeii. Contrary to long-held assumptions, many individuals caught in the disaster could have survived.

In a unique twist, Hiddleston steps into cinematic sequences that follow the lives of real Romans facing devastating choices as Vesuvius erupts. The series aims to reframe Pompeii’s destruction as a human drama of resilience, sacrifice, and survival, shedding light on the lives of those affected by the catastrophe.

On July 22 at 9/8c, the show will premiere on National Geographic before streaming on Disney+ and Hulu the following day. The series promises to bring the past to life through a captivating blend of historical analysis and personal storytelling.

Additionally, a major story will be published on July 21 on natgeo.com, offering new insights into Roman life based on discoveries at Oplontis, Herculaneum, and Pompeii. These findings use advanced technology to reveal ancient society’s focus on inequality, health, and the pursuit of a fulfilling life.

The series’ original soundtrack, featuring a score by composer Aisling Brouwer, will be released through Hollywood Records on July 24, 2026. If you’re a fan of history, drama, or captivating storytelling, this promises to be an engaging series to watch!
