David Attenborough presents Planet Earth 3, the most ambitious natural history landmark ever undertaken by the BBC. Across 8 episodes the series travels to new locations to explore stunning landscapes and tell extraordinary stories that are dramatic, thrilling, sometimes funny, sometimes heart-breaking, but always full of hope.

Each episode showcases new behaviour and the remarkable strategies that animals have developed to survive. The natural world has changed more over the past few decades than ever before, this is being felt across every ecosystem and by the countless creatures that we share the planet with. We’ve now reached a critical point in our planet’s history and the series features stories which reflect the new challenges that wildlife faces in our modern world. Retaining the awe, beauty, and warm tone of its predecessors, the series brings a new insight into our increasingly fragile natural world by revealing the deep interconnectivity of all life on Earth.

Filmed over five years, the series uses pioneering technology to reveal the earths greatest wonders. Lightweight drones, high-speed cameras and remotely operated deep-sea submersibles transport viewers to spectacular unseen landscapes, from remote jungle to scorching deserts, and from the darkest caves to the depths of the ocean.
