The ground-breaking series highlights the majestic animals who call the Serengeti their home and their day-to-day lives living together. Created and produced by Emmy(R)-winner Simon Fuller (&#8220;<em>American Idol<\/em>,&#8221; &#8220;<em>So You Think You Can Dance&#8221;<\/em>) and directed and produced by Emmy(R)-winning wildlife filmmaker John Downer (&#8220;<em>Penguin: Spy in The Huddle<\/em>&#8220;), the continuation of the six-part series gives unrivaled access to one of the most pristine and unspoiled corners of Africa. Featuring a lush original score and narrated by Academy Award(R)-winning and Emmy(R) nominated actress Lupita Nyong&#8217;o, the revolutionary series follows the heartwarming stories of a cast of African wildlife including lions, zebras, baboons, and cheetahs over the course of a year, showcasing the dramatic moments that make each day of survival on the Serengeti a feat.<\/p><div id=\"morty-521282869\" class=\"morty-content\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-4937602850188786\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4937602850188786\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"5227734695\" \ndata-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\ndata-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<p>The upcoming season premieres on Sunday, July 18 (episode 1 @ 8PM ET\/PT and episode 2 at 9:00PM ET\/PT).
