We are thrilled to deepen our commitment to landmark natural history documentaries with six new series premiering over the next few years, beginning November 22 with the epic tale of Our Universe , narrated by Morgan Freeman.
Nature documentaries can help us explore, discover, and appreciate the wonder and complexities of the world around us. The stories are limitless - spanning the arc of history from the Earth's earliest origins, to the environments we live in now, to the planet we are creating for the future.
