BBC's gearing up for the release of
Planet Earth II, its six-part follow-up to the original
Planet Earth series shown in 2006, later this year. Just like the original series, the six, one-hour episodes will explore jungles (both real ones and concrete), deserts, grasslands "and the extraordinary ways animals survive within them." This time, though, BBC captured the planet's habitats on cam entirely in 4K.
Planet Earth II's executive producer Mike Gunton
says "It will be a truly immersive experience, providing audiences with a unique perspective on the most extraordinary places and animals on our planet." As icing on the cake, Sir David Attenborough (who provided the first series' voice-over) is coming back to narrate how animals live in the wild.
