Today (25 Sept) saw the release of the official trailer for our ground-breaking new series Life on Our Planet.
From Silverback Films and Executive Producer Steven Spielberg, and narrated by Morgan Freeman, this is the story of life’s epic battle to conquer and survive on Planet Earth. Today there are 20 million species on our planet, yet what we see is just a snapshot in time – 99 per cent of earth’s inhabitants are lost to our deep past. Who will rise? Who will fall? Who will survive?
Our ground-breaking 8-part series has been years in the making, we use the latest technology and science to bring long extinct creatures back to life, revealing what happened to these dynasties.
It’s the story of Life on Our Planet, chronicling the ongoing rise and fall of lives on Earth, from the cataclysmic events that reshape our ecosystems to the creatures that survived (or didn’t) along the way. Our eight-part show frames the story of the planet’s history via its five mass extinction events thus far – and what that means for life today.
“By understanding our past, we can help shape our future,” Silverback series producer Keith Scholey told Netflix’s Queue. The sixth mass extinction we’re currently living through is the first one created by an animal, and also the first one that can be averted completely.”
We’ll be sharing more over the coming months ahead of our show premiering on Netflix 25 Oct.
