From massive asteroid bombardments to extreme changes in climate to collisions of whole continents, ANCIENT EARTH takes viewers on a journey through our planet&#8217;s most astonishing moments, beginning with its early years as a volcanic hellscape through the rise of humans. Featuring stunning animation, based on the latest scientific research and an original music score, each of the five episodes brings to life long-lost worlds that ultimately led to the one we know today.<\/p><div id=\"morty-3338107458\" 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>&#8220;We&#8217;re thrilled to be partnering again with PBS and BBC Studios on this extraordinary series. These are very special films that showcase the awesome complexity and sometimes, the wonderful weirdness of our planet that science has been able to reveal,&#8221; said NOVA Co-Executive Producer Julia Cort. &#8220;This collaboration makes it possible to create incredibly beautiful, detailed, and accurate graphics that immerse viewers in fantastical worlds all based on scientific research.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>ANCIENT EARTH transports audiences to bygone eras when Earth looked more like an alien world, and explores the breathtaking transitions that brought us closer to the planet we know today. The series follows the very first drops of rain as they formed in the early atmosphere and splashed down on a searing Earth covered in molten lava and barren rock, setting the stage for the origins of life; journeys to 700 million years ago when the planet was a giant snowball cloaked in ice from pole to pole; moves on to a time when some of the earliest life emerged and invaded Earth&#8217;s barren and rocky landscape, transforming it into a lush green world; then leaps to 250 million years ago when a volcano-induced mass extinction wiped out around 90% of all species on the planet &#8211; yet life survived, setting the stage for the dinosaurs.<\/p>\n<p>Lastly, the series reveals the sequence of extraordinary geologic events that led to the emergence of humans, a self-aware and technological animal species able to not only alter the course of Earth&#8217;s evolution, but study and understand the consequences of its actions. This final hour contemplates humanity&#8217;s role in Earth&#8217;s story, and challenges us to consider the capacity of our species to alter the trajectory of our planet&#8217;s future.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;ANCIENT EARTH gives audiences a perspective of deep time and constant change. Even though there&#8217;s only one Earth, it&#8217;s worn many guises,&#8221; said NOVA Co-Executive Producer Chris Schmidt. &#8220;Each episode tells the story of one of those surprising chapters in Earth&#8217;s history. Many people are familiar with events like the asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs and allowed mammals to thrive, but there were many lesser-known events that utterly transformed our world. We hope these surprising and awe-inspiring moments, revealed beautifully throughout this series, will surprise audiences and offer a deeper appreciation of Earth&#8217;s amazing story.&#8221;<\/p><div id=\"morty-1417805841\" class=\"morty-content_2\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;text-align: center;\"><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>ANCIENT EARTH features interviews with scientists who radiate their passion for discovery and help bring to life billions of years of intertwined biological and geological history that made our planet what it is today.

But 4.5 billion years ago, Earth was a very different place: a hellscape of molten lava and barren rock, under relentless bombardment from meteors, and with no atmosphere whatsoever. So how did our familiar blue sky come to be? Breathtakingly realistic animations and a chorus of science experts reveal how the primordial inferno first gave rise to an orange-hued cauldron of toxic gases that would be deadly to us today. Witness how the first drops of rain splashed down on the searing planet, setting the stage for the evolution of life, and discover how life itself helped create the air we all breathe today.<\/p>\n<p>NOVA &#8220;ANCIENT EARTH: FROZEN&#8221; Premieres Wednesday, October 11, 2023 @ 9PM ET\/8C<\/p>\n<p>700 million years ago, Earth was a giant snowball cloaked in ice from pole to pole &#8211; a global freeze that held the planet in a stranglehold, threatening the survival of the earliest complex life. How did life manage to hold on in this forbidding world? Leading scientists investigate how this catastrophe may have become a catalyst for life to evolve in creative new ways as it bounced back from the brink &#8211; setting the stage for the astonishing complexity we see today.<\/p>\n<p>NOVA &#8220;ANCIENT EARTH: LIFE RISING&#8221; Premieres Wednesday, October 18, 2023 @ 9PM ET\/8C<\/p>\n<p>For billions of years, life teemed in the oceans of planet Earth while the land was desolate and inhospitable. So how did life make the leap to land? Scientists explore how some of the earliest life emerged and invaded a barren, rocky landscape, eventually transforming it into a verdant, green world. Gripping visual effects reveal an alien landscape dominated by towering fungi before the arrival of plants. Witness how the first plants made landfall and partnered with fungi to create soil that would sustain them. And discover how, once life emerged on land, it fundamentally altered the very ground it grew on.<\/p>\n<p>NOVA &#8220;ANCIENT EARTH: INFERNO&#8221; Premieres Wednesday, October 25, 2023 @ 9PM ET\/8C<\/p>\n<p>252 million years ago, the most devastating mass extinction of all time abruptly wiped out around 90% of all species on Earth. The culprits were the biggest volcanic eruptions the world has ever seen, emitting some 700 thousand cubic miles of magma and rock. Volcanic gases permeated the atmosphere and acidified the oceans while toxic gases destroyed the ozone layer, bathing the planet in destructive ultraviolet radiation. The event &#8211; now called &#8220;The Great Dying&#8221; &#8211; came close to wiping out all life on the planet. Follow scientists as they piece together geologic evidence from the deep past and clues from today&#8217;s ecosystems to discover how life made it through and evolved into the astonishing variety we see around us today.<\/p>\n<p>NOVA &#8220;ANCIENT EARTH: HUMANS&#8221; Premieres Wednesday, November 1, 2023 @ 9PM ET\/8C<\/p>\n<p>The story of Earth can only be told because now, 4.5 billion years into its existence, a technological and self-aware animal species roams its surface, able to study the very planet that gave rise to it. But how exactly did Earth give rise to humans? Through stunningly realistic animation, witness the cataclysmic asteroid strike that wiped out the dinosaurs, the tumultuous changing climates that allowed early primates to spread across the planet, and the geologic events that created the conditions for the evolution of an animal that walks upright on two legs. Explore the power and paradox of humanity&#8217;s profound impact on our planet, and ponder the question of how we may shape its future.<\/p>\n<p>NOVA &#8220;ANCIENT EARTH,&#8221; a five-part series, premieres Wednesdays, October 4 &#8211; November 1, 2023 @ 9PM ET\/8C on PBS and will be available for streaming at pbs.org\/nova, NOVA on YouTube, and the PBS App.<\/p>\n<p>NOVA &#8220;ANCIENT EARTH&#8221; is a BBC Studios Production with NOVA and GBH for PBS and the BBC.
