Sir David Attenborough presents Planet Earth III, a brand new Natural History series for BBC One and iPlayer.

Journeying to the far reaches of our planet, this eight part series follows some of the world’s most amazing species, telling extraordinary stories that are dramatic, thrilling, funny and sometimes heart-breaking, but always full of hope.Filmed over the course of nearly five years, the new series uses pioneering filmmaking technology to reveal the greatest wonders of life on earth.

Lightweight drones, high-speed cameras and remotely operated deep-sea submersibles transport viewers to spectacular unseen landscapes, from remote jungle to scorching deserts, and from the darkest caves to the depths of the ocean.“The drama and spectacle of our natural world deserves an epic score to match.

Who better than Hans Zimmer and his collaborators? He’s a master at picking up on the personalities of our cast, and composing the perfect charismatic scores as the soundtrack to their lives”. – Matt Brandon Series Producer“Creating scores for any of the BBC's Natural History series is always an honour for me as there are no more epic stories than those occurring naturally every day in our own planet’s ecosystem”. – Hans Zimmer
