Let's be honest, we could all do with a bit of armchair travel right now - and if it's presented by Zac Efron, all the better.

So we're very ready to kick back and (virtually) jet off for the former high school musical star's new travel show, Down To Earth, which drops Friday 10th July.

Released on Netflix, the show - which was filmed before the world went into lockdown - sees the actor travel to locations like France, Puerto Rico, Iceland, London, Costa Rica, Lima, Sardinia, and Iquitos.

You can watch the full trailer here:

Protecting the planet is the big theme of the series, and on his global journey Zac will explore "healthy, sustainable ways to live".

He and co-star, wellness expert Darin Olien, will be aiming to provide "new perspectives on some very old problems".

These range from issues in food production to energy supply chains - and going by the trailer, we can expect to see some creative eco innovations along the way.

Talking about the programme, Zac said: "We're travelling around the world to find some new perspectives on some very old problems.

"Food, water and energy are all the main staples for modern life. We're going to see some top eco innovators to see how change is an inside job. And we're going to be eating really, really well.

"We need to start rethinking how we consume everything, from our food to our power. Change has to start somewhere. Maybe it's about time we all changed. It's time to get down to earth."

The series might seem like something of a curveball for Zac, but actually, Zac has a history of speaking out on the need to implement global sustainability solutions.

Earlier this year, the former High School Musical star took part in a programme titled the Great Global Cleanup for the Discovery Channel.
