That’s been known since the end of Springwatch, when Chris Packham and Co announced that. I’m not to keen on Autumnwatch going to New England as I would prefer Autumnwatch to be in the UK as usual.Coming from New England this year https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.bbc.co.uk/news/amp/entertainment-arts-45332214

Ian.
I think it's to do with the concept that it was UK based. Species of wildlife you could hopefully see and hear if you were able to travel the length and breadth or just in your back garden.
Also that the various locations and outside broadcasts reflected the variety and geographic diversity of the UK.
Also, as mentioned, only so many items about kingfishers, barn owls and red deer ruts before it gets "tired".
Hence travelling and bringing some new species and locations to us from the New World. What to expect?
I'll kick off with Moose, raccoons, brown bears and bald eagle as articles. All based from a log cabin scenario surrounded by a palette of autumnal coloured sycamores, aspen and birch.
If they are doing It from foreign lands,perhaps some place In Europe would have been better.At least some viewers may know the area already or would be prompted to visit after watching the programme.
I doubt watching North American wildlife,shall see a rush of bookings to visit the area.I do enjoy watching wildlife on TV but this series,shall not be on my; "Not To Be Missed" list.
Was rather good thought I wasn't going to like it but found it interesting
