Planet Earth III
Planet Earth III is a 2023 British nature documentary series produced by the BBC Studios Natural History Unit in co-production with The Open University, BBC America, ZDF, France Televisions and NHK. It is the third instalment in the Planet Earth series, with Sir David Attenborough reprising his role as narrator like its predecessors. It premiered in the UK on 22 October 2023.
The BBC greenlit Planet Earth III in February 2019, alongside four other natural history productions: Seven Worlds, One Planet, A Perfect Planet, The Green Planet and Frozen Planet II. The announcement was accompanied by a BBC Earth teaser trailer to promote all five series.
The Planet Earth III team filmed in 43 countries and six continents during the five-year production. The series required 134 individual shoots, 50 of which were managed remotely due to the travel restrictions in place during the COVID-19 pandemic. Local film-making teams were directed from the UK to gather the material for the remotely-managed shoots.
The production team succeeded in using the latest technology and filming techniques, some of which were developed especially for this series. These included:
Rare species, behaviours and events captured on film for the first time included:
David Attenborough officially joined the production in August 2023. He appears in person to present the opening and closing episodes of the series, filmed on location at Downe Bank Nature Reserve in Kent. For the remaining episodes he provides narration.
In September 2023 the BBC released an extended trailer for Planet Earth III, with footage from the series accompanied by Attenborough's narration and the brand new song "Mother Nature". The song was a collaboration between composers Hans Zimmer and Bleeding Fingers Music, singer-songwriter RAYE, and Bastille. Zimmer, Jacob Shea, Sara Barone, producer Russell Emanuel and Bastille’s Dan Smith collaborated on the original score for Planet Earth III. A reworking of Bastille’s hit single, "Pompeii", entitled "Pompeii MMXXIII", plays over the end credits.
The series comprises eight episodes.
