Prepare for a trip back in time—100 million years, to be exact—as Walking With Dinosaurs returns to BBC One this Sunday at 6:25 PM. The second episode of the series, The River Dragon, drops viewers into the harsh realities of prehistoric North Africa, where a Spinosaurus father faces a perilous journey to feed his young.
The episode plays out like a high-stakes nature documentary, with survival as the central theme. The Spinosaurus family must cross one of Earth’s most dangerous environments, a landscape teeming with predators, in their search for sustenance. The potential reward: a feast of epic proportions, but first, they’ll have to outrun and outsmart whatever lurks around the riverbend.
Expect the kind of graphic realism that made the original series both a critical darling and a kid-friendly nightmare fuel—this time around with even more detailed CGI and a focus on the brutal day-to-day existence of these prehistoric behemoths. The River Dragon brings the dangers of the Cretaceous period to vivid life.
“Walking With Dinosaurs” airs Sunday, 1 June at 6:25 PM on BBC One.
