Apple TV+ today revealed a glimpse at its highly anticipated natural history event series “Prehistoric Planet,” from executive producers Jon Favreau and Mike Gunton, and BBC Studios Natural History Unit (“Planet Earth”), and narrated by Sir David Attenborough.
Set to debut globally on Apple TV+ from Monday, May 23 through Friday, May 27, the five-episode groundbreaking series will transport viewers 66 million years in the past to discover our world — and the dinosaurs that roamed it — all in stunning detail and set to an original score by multiple Academy Award winner Hans Zimmer.
Rolling out with one new episode per day, “Prehistoric Planet” combines award-winning wildlife filmmaking, the latest paleontology learnings and state-of-the-art technology to unveil the spectacular habitats and inhabitants of ancient Earth for a one-of-a-kind immersive experience. This series is produced by the world-renowned team at BBC Studios Natural History Unit with support from the photorealistic visual effects of MPC (“The Lion King,” “The Jungle Book”). “Prehistoric Planet” presents little-known and surprising facts of dinosaur life set against the backdrop of the environments of Cretaceous times, including coasts, deserts, freshwater, ice worlds and forests. From revealing eye-opening parenting techniques of Tyrannosaurus rex to exploring the mysterious depths of the oceans and the deadly dangers in the sky, “Prehistoric Planet” brings Earth’s history to life like never before.
“Prehistoric Planet” is produced for Apple TV+ by BBC Studios. Executive producers are Jon Favreau and Mike Gunton.

The quality of these things just keep getting better and better, looks amazing.
I’m calling my bookie to place a hefty bet that the production will, at some point, decry human degradation on the planet via global warming. It’s something that both Cook and Attenborough think about a lot. What an opportunity to push the catastrophic and impending doom and wreck, what could be a great production.
How bout a flat earther biopic about how social distancing nearly pushed their community over the edge?
Your statement implies those pushing back on social distancing (lockdowns were part of that) were/are flat-earthers.
Let me guess, you are a flat-earther that denies repeated and broad reporting that notes children’s speech has been compromised, depression has increased for them and others, addiction has risen, relatives couldn’t be with departing/departed relatives and suicides correspond to the “distancing” timeframe?
Community over the edge…no, many are physically still here, but the emotional blow(s) have been devastating.
Who’s the flat-earther?
If you’re joking, it’s funny. If you aren’t, you are taking my statement too seriously.
