The Epic New Landmark Natural History Series, “Kingdom,” Premieres Saturday, January 24 on BBC America and AMC+

BBC AMERICA’s highly anticipated landmark natural history series, Kingdom, set to premiere on Saturday, January 24 @ 8PM ET/PT on BBC AMERICA and AMC+, chronicles the dramatic real-life sagas of four African rival animal families – leopards, hyenas, wild dogs, and lions – as they all fight to claim a remote Zambian paradise as their home. Who will succeed in ruling this precious kingdom? Narrated by renowned naturalist and three-time Emmy® Award-winner Sir David Attenborough (Asia, Planet Earth III), all-new episodes of the major six-part natural history will premiere weekly on Saturdays.

In the heart of Zambia, different animals all lay claim to a lush corner of South Luangwa National Park known as Nsefu. Situated on the banks of the mighty Luangwa River and teeming with life, Nsefu is an ideal place to raise a family – and that means that things can get crowded here…

Kingdom follows the stories of a lion pride, a wild dog pack, a hyena clan, and a leopard family – who are all competing to make Nsefu their home. It’s a story about endurance, control, ever-shifting power dynamics, and perhaps the greatest challenge of all: raising a family in a competitive world.

This is the longest the BBC Studios Natural History Unit has been embedded in one location, tracking the lives of individual animals, for a single series. Spending around 1400 days in the field, working alongside local crews and experts, Kingdom not only documents the story of some of Africa’s most charismatic animals, but also shines a light on the efforts to protect them from poaching by leading conservationists.

Kingdom, a 6×50′ series for BBC One and iPlayer, is made by BBC Studios Natural History Unit, co-produced by BBC AMERICA. It was commissioned by Jack Bootle, Head of Specialist Factual, BBC Commissioning. The Executive Producer is Mike Gunton, the Series Editor is Simon Blakeney, and the Series Producer is Felicity Lanchester. BBC Studios is handling global sales.
