Last month, fans of David Attenborough’s work were chomping at the bit when the first trailer for Dynasties was released.
For good reason, too, because the BBC project looks like it’s going to be another of those epics that leave us wondering how in the hell they managed to capture such dramatic sequences on camera.
Well, the first episode of that series aired in the UK this past weekend, but that’s not what we are talking about.
Nah, my nature-loving friends, because David’s also been engaging in a little side action as part of a series called Our Planet.
Here’s more info via IndieWire:
If “Our Planet” has a familiar sheen to it, it’s because this new project is directed by Alastair Fothergill, who was previously at the helm for “Planet Earth” and “Blue Planet.” While all of those BBC productions are currently available to stream on the platform, this upcoming eight-part series is a Netflix original.
Of course, it wouldn’t be a series bathed in a warm blanket of gravitas were it not for the contributions of Sir David Attenborough. At 92, he’ll be lending his calm, reassuring voice to climates across the globe…
In announcing the new project, Netflix said that “Our Planet” is the culmination of a four-year shooting process that took various crews to 50 countries across all seven continents.
Yes, David. Bring it on:
Nature and dramatic music – what a rush.
Pity it’s just the teaser trailer for now, but it does give us something to look forward to.
The full series will launch globally on April 5 of next year.
