If you’re tired of nature programmes, and especially the huge talent and skill that goes into them – even if using the advantage of tech – then come back, join us – you might love this one!

Life On Our Planet is a new take on a timeless story, that of life’s actual battle to conquer and survive on planet Earth. Today there are 20 million species on our planet, but this is only ‘now’ with so much more of our history trapped in the sand and mud of our own history.

This new documentary series is narrated by Morgan Freeman, exec produced by Steven Spielberg and involves the incredible team at Industrial Light & Magic, who use the latest technology and science to bring long extinct creatures back to life! Watch the trailer:

From Silverback Films and Amblin Television, it’s Produced by Dan Tapster, Keith Scholey and Alastair Fothergill, and will be eight one-hour episodes.

Life On Our Planet comes to Netflix on 25 October
