A Wild Year On Earth

Narrated by Laura Carmichael, this landmark six-part documentary series charts the planet’s most spectacular events of migration, rebirth and transformation. Over the course of a turbulent year, we witness how finely tuned creatures face the Earth’s seasonal patterns. However, in the 21st Century, these patterns are becoming more extreme, less predictable and dangerously unreliable. Across the globe, we witness the drama and the spectacle. No matter what time of year it is, somewhere on Earth something miraculous is happening.

Africa’s Claws and Jaws

From the razor sharp teeth of the great white shark, to the lightning fast strike of a black mamba, we explore some of the most dangerous animals known to man. While some use their overwhelming strength to overpower enemies, others use lethal venom. This is the story of attack and defend, predator and prey and the urge to kill or be killed.

Trimates

Narrated by award-winning actress Sandra Oh (Grey’s Anatomy, Killing Eve), TRIMATES is a documentary for the whole family. This is a story of two generations of women: the young pioneers - Jane Goodall, Dian Fossey and Birute Galdikas - who set out into the jungles over half a century ago to live with our closest ancestors, the great apes. This is also the story of a generation who followed their articles, transfixed by their stories and determined to follow the same distant paths. Featuring an original musical score, and up-close and personal footage filmed by one of the world’s most renowned natural history cinematographers, this film takes us deep into the jungles and mountains of Uganda, Borneo and Congo, as we explore the frontiers of important research and our human origins.

Neu Earth

Neu Earth is a place and a time where humanity has triumphed against climate change. What does Neu Earth look like? The answer unfolds through the investigations of a future historian living in 2050 and looking back in time. Key global innovations become apparent: controversial cloud manipulation experiments, the enhancing of photosynthesis to create food and energy, and innovations in construction with bamboo and fungi. Efforts to capture carbon dioxide directly also loom large. The future historian discovers the origins of an atmospheric filtration system, and the development of methods to capture carbon by land, soil and sea.

Boss Shark

Scientists have little understanding of the social dynamics of great white sharks. Normally lone hunters, they congregate at certain times of the year and suddenly become social creatures. For the first time, shark experts Dr Riley Elliott and Kori Burkhardt host a thrilling competition unlike any other, aiming to uncover which male great white shark reigns as the alpha in the pack. This unique showdown tests the sharks’ speed, hunting prowess, and fearlessness to uncover the leader of the pack who will get first mating rights with the big females when breeding season begins. Throughout the competition five key sharks go head-to-head in a series of contests, while the massive females - up to twice the size of the males - watch and judge. BOSS SHARK dives deep to observe never-before-seen shark behaviour.

Strike Force

A group of researchers who specialize in neutralizing threats at sea (sharks, jellyfish) and on land (snakes) so they are called in by authorities to help with sharks and other marine wildlife when they threaten humans.
