One Planet, Seven Worlds, described as an “ambitious, landmark series”, will explore how the world’s “seven extraordinary” continents “shaped the unique animal life found there”.
Sir David Attenborough is returning to the BBC to present a new natural history series later this year.
One Planet, Seven Worlds is not the only Attenborough-narrated series coming to TV screens this year – the acclaimed documentarian will also act as the voice of the Netflix series Our Planet.
“Each one-hour episode will transport viewers to a single continent and tell the story of its spectacular wildlife and iconic landscapes,” the BBC said.
