Evolution Earth

EVOLUTION EARTH embarks on a global expedition to reveal the extraordinary ways animals are keeping pace with a planet that is changing at superspeed. We meet the scientists, filmmakers and local communities at the front lines of this rapid change. They show that we too can help, and that if we work with nature in planned conservation efforts, nature can do more than survive - it can bounce back. This five-part series is narrated by Princeton University’s Shane Campbell-Staton, who guides us through each episode in an intimate narrative style, drawing on his background as an evolutionary biologist.

Secret Life of the Tasmanian Devil

The Tasmanian devil is an amazing little creature. With the sharpest teeth, strongest jaws and noisiest shriek, it is the world’s largest carnivorous marsupial. Filming amongst the wild devils of Devil Ark, we follow their colourful battles for dominance, displays of aggression and violent disagreements across the generations.

Pride Rules

PRIDE RULES is a remarkable look at lion prides, their politics, their incessant drive to survive, and the daily struggles they face to protect their territory. On the banks of the Chobe River, a large lion pride dominates the highly prized floodplain territory. Led by two charismatic brothers and a plucky lioness, the pride consists of 18 members. And then there’s Einstein; the wayward son who should have left home long ago. As the dry season takes hold of their territory, the pride capitalizes on weakened elephants, fights off rival lions and sees new cubs into the fold, sparking Einstein’s inevitable eviction. But while Einstein embarks a peril-filled journey to find a new home, his original pride must battle enemies to protect their turf and their cubs. As the series unfolds, births and deaths are inevitable and battles, many. Just like the beautiful river that meanders through the floodplain, there is a constant ebb and flow of change and a constant stream of undercurrents that hint at deceit and demise.

Gladiators

Across the planet, there are animals born to fight and destined to face their foe. Armed with weaponry, guile and tactics, these gladiators are ready to battle. Some are fighting for territory, others for access to food or a mate; but ALL are fighting for the same ultimate prize – survival. GLADIATORS is set in iconic and diverse battlefields: the wide open Outback, the vast plains of the Serengeti, the rugged heights of the Rockies and the life-rich Rainforest. Battles are dissected moment by moment in stunning slow motion, revealing astonishing details of unseen strategy, bravery and strength. These stories are about much more than just the fight - they are packed with context and character, unlocking the secrets of the ecosystem and the gladiators themselves. These battles will shape the destinies of all our characters, whether victorious or defeated. Only champions will reign supreme.

Boss Shark: Battle Of The Sexes

For millions of years, great white sharks have ruled the oceans, but among these apex predators, another battle rages between the males and females. Join Dr Riley Elliott and marine biologist Kori Burkhardt off the coast of New Zealand for a shark competition unlike any other. In a scientific first, they put the two sexes head-to-head in a series of experiments designed to test their speed, power, and courage. The goal: to find out which one reigns supreme. There can be only one winner in the world’s first BOSS SHARK: BATTLE OF THE SEXES.

Uptown Otters

In Singapore, smooth-coated otters have forged a unique urban lifestyle, living side-by-side with their human neighbours. And the best part? They rule this uptown world. Each family is helmed by a matriarch, and they live and die by two rules: only the alpha female is allowed to reproduce, and intruders are not welcome. The Bay Family currently occupies prime territory – Marina Bay. Meanwhile, the Townies, Nomads, and Mangrove Family have built their own empires around the island. These otters peacefully coexist – as long as they remain in their own territory, under their queen. But peace breeds restlessness. As the Bay Family settles into their home, the other clans are starting to stir, each wanting a piece of this otter paradise…

Coral City

CORAL CITY takes viewers inside the vibrant, bustling ecosystem of the Great Barrier Reef, one of the planet’s largest and most biodiverse natural wonders. Like a bustling city, the reef is home to distinct “neighborhoods” – coral, lagoon, sand cay, and coastal rainforest – each with its own rhythms, influenced by the tides, time of day, and changing seasons. This stunning documentary series reveals how the four seasons drive the behaviors, feeding patterns, and life cycles of the marine creatures that call the reef home. From the dramatic coral spawning in Spring to the Summer’s intense phytoplankton bloom and the autumn struggles of over-heated waters, CORAL CITY captures the ebb and flow of life in one of the world’s most intricate ecosystems. Each season brings its challenges, triumphs, and moments of breathtaking beauty, making it clear why the Great Barrier Reef is both fragile and vital to the planet’s future.

Deep In The Heart

Narrated by Matthew McConaughey, DEEP IN THE HEART is a visually stunning celebration of Texas wildlife. Told through the eyes of animals ranging from the mysterious blind catfish to the elusive ocelot, the film showcases Texas’ most spectacular landscapes and natural events. Featuring state-of-the-art cinematography, this family-friendly film flows from the high peaks in West Texas, through aquifers, rivers, and bays, and deep into the Gulf of Mexico. DEEP IN THE HEART shows both the natural beauty of an iconic state and its ecological importance at a continental scale.

Wild Sky

The skies above our planet never stop moving. Wind, rain, drought and blizzards shape the lives of every living thing. The polar vortex provides hunting opportunities for polar bears and fuels tornadoes dodged by prairie dogs and wolves. In South America a mysterious river of clouds brings life-giving rain to frogs and monkeys, while flamingos and puma eke out a living in the rain shadow. In Africa elephants, meerkats and lions choose different strategies to deal with drought, while in Australia the monsoon baths crocodiles and kangaroos. As weather sweeps across four continents, creatures find ingenious solutions to survive our planet’s WILD SKY.

Wild Dogs: Pack Vs Pride

In this second season of WILD DOGS, Julz is back to follow two wild dog packs and one lion pride, the first cameraman to follow and chart the conflicts and interactions between these two top predators in the Luangwa Valley. Just as action packed as last year Julz will be challenged by the landscape and environment as he endeavors to keep up with the wild dogs in Roxanne, his trusty Jeep. The immersive on the shoulder style keeps us close to the action as Julz fixes on the fly, camps in the wilderness, and does what he does best – captures stunning wildlife behaviour in an incredible landscape.
