About the Series

The team behind the multi-award-winning natural history series The Blue Planet are back with the ultimate portrait of our planet. Four years in the making, this is the Earth celebrated as never before.

Over the years the BBC has shown viewers the most incredible sights on the planet. Or so we thought. There is an even more amazing world out there that has never been seen, and it is captured for the first time in Planet Earth. From the world’s greatest rivers and gorges to the mightiest mountains, the hidden underground world of caves and caverns, to vast deserts...

Planet Earth is the first natural history series to be filmed entirely in High Definition, providing unparalleled viewing. See awe-inspiring landscapes from all across the globe and incredible footage of the rarely spotted, almost mythical creatures that live in these habitats.

The Blue Planet blew audiences away with its footage of the alien-like depths of the ocean. Four years on and cameras can now track great migrations, capture split-second actions, and get amazing footage of land-based animals in their natural habitats, whether on a mountain top, in the remotest of deserts, or the darkest depths of the forest floor.

The world’s premier wildlife cameramen have travelled all over the planet, even to the most far-flung reaches, to create the biggest series the BBC’s Natural History Unit has ever made. This is the definitive look at the diversity of our planet, narrated by David Attenborough. Prepare to be overwhelmed by the beauty of Planet Earth.
