On Saturday, November 4 @ 8PM ET/PT, BBC AMERICA will premiere the extraordinary and highly-anticipated landmark natural history series Planet Earth III, which will also be available the same day on AMC+. In addition, the network released today the all-new official trailer for the series. Executive produced by Emmy® Award-winner Mike Gunton (Planet Earth II, Dynasties II) and series-produced by Emmy® Award-nominee Matt Brandon (Cities: Nature’s New Wild), renowned naturalist and three-time Emmy® Award-winner Sir David Attenborough (Planet Earth II, Blue Planet II, Frozen Planet II) presents the eight-episode groundbreaking and cinematic series.
Seven years after the Emmy® and BAFTA® Award-winning Planet Earth II, the eagerly anticipated Planet Earth III will journey across the continents revealing the wonders of our planet. This spellbinding series will feature never-before-seen behavior, and dive deep into the stories and animal characters which reflect the new challenges that wildlife face in our modern, crowded world.
