Leonardo DiCaprio's production company Appian Way is teaming up with Netflix for a series of documentaries.

Deadline reports that the actor has signed a deal with Netflix that will see the online streaming service exclusively airing a series of documentaries on environmental and conservationist subjects, with DiCaprio acting as executive producer.

Appian Way and Netflix previously collaborated on the 2014 Oscar-nominated documentary Virunga which centred on the conservationists in a Congolese national park.

DiCaprio commented on the new Netflix collaboration: "Working with Netflix on Virunga has sparked a shared vision about projects that we want to develop and bring to viewers.

"There's never been a more critical time for our planet or more of a need for gifted storytellers to help us all make sense of the issues we face. 

"Through this partnership with Netflix, I hope to give documentary film-makers doing urgent and important work the chance to have their films seen immediately by audiences all around the world."
