Interestingly, the premiere will be simulcast across BBC America, AMC, IFC, WE tv, and SundanceTV, although the rest of the series will air on Saturday nights on BBC America alone.

Blue Planet II hasn’t even premiered on the American side of the pond just yet.
We’ll have to wait and see if more outcry is in store when American audiences get to see the puffin lose its lunch.
