After seven years and the success of Planet Earth II, the third installment of the series promises to take viewers on a mesmerizing journey across continents, showcasing the wonders of our planet. The show will delve into previously unseen animal behavior and tell the stories of different animal characters to shed light on the new difficulties animals face in today’s crowded world. The critical importance of environmental protection and restoration will also be emphasized. In the series finale, viewers will get to know some of the brave people who put their lives on the line to safeguard the planet’s wildlife and delicate ecosystems.

Several talented composers, such as Hans Zimmer, Jacob Shea, Sara Barone, and Dan Smith of Bastille, contributed to the series’ music. Together, they have crafted breathtaking aural environments for Planet Earth III, with Dan Smith’s vocals featured prominently in both the opening title song and throughout each episode. In addition, their cover of Bastille’s “Pompeii,” a massive hit in 2016, will be reworked and renamed “Pompeii MMXXIII,” and will be featured in the series’ closing credits.

Produced by BBC Studios in association with BBC AMERICA, ZDF, and France Televisions and The Open University for BBC, Planet Earth III is part of the BBC’s natural history programming. Mike Gunton serves as the show’s EP, and Matt Brandon is in charge of producing the series. The worldwide distribution is being handled by BBC Studios.
