Down to Earth with Zac Efron is an American documentary television series that premiered on Netflix on July 10, 2020.[1] It stars Zac Efron and Darin Olien, who also act as executive producers of the series.[1][2][3] The documentary revolves around Efron and his travels around the world to France, Puerto Rico, London, Iceland, Costa Rica, Peru, and Sardinia,[4] and focuses on themes of travel, life experience, nature, green energy and sustainable living practices.[5] Critics describe it as light in tone, but heavy in questionable health advice and pseudoscience.[6]

A second season filmed solely around Australia aired on November 11, 2022.[7][8] The series had its broadcast television premiere on The CW on July 18, 2023.[9] However, it was pulled from network's schedule after two episodes.[10]
