Sir David Attenborough to make BBC comeback with new nature series
Sir David Attenborough is set to return to the BBC with a brand new nature series called Wild Isles.
The tireless conservationist will use this five-part series to explore the environment closer to home across Britain and Ireland. He and his dedicated film crew have spent the last three years examining the flora and fauna across the UK.
Wild Isles will capture the local woodlands, grasslands and marine life in crystal clear 4K and time-lapse photography to document the changes to the natural world (via Variety).
Speaking about his upcoming series, Attenborough reflected: "In my long lifetime, I have travelled to almost every corner of our planet.
"I can assure you that in the British Isles, as well as astonishing scenery there are extraordinary animal dramas and wildlife spectacles to match anything I have seen on my global travels."
The BBC One series promises to get up close and personal with magnificent animals from sea eagles and killer whales to wild horses and bees.
The series is produced by Silverback Films in partnership with The Open University, the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds and the World Wildlife Fund.
Attenborough's latest documentary about the natural world comes after the success of his previous shows including Blue Planet, Planet Earth, Our Planet and Frozen Planet.
Executive producer Alastair Fothergill said in a statement about the series: "I have always wanted to make a landmark series that really does justice to our own extraordinary wildlife. I am sure people will be amazed at what is happening right on their own doorstep."
Jack Bootle, the BBC's head of commissioning for science and natural history, added: "The multi-award-winning team at Silverback are creating an eye-opening celebration of British and Irish wildlife that has to be seen to be believed.
"You'll think a meadow in Somerset is as beautiful as the Serengeti, and the North Atlantic as wild and dramatic as the Antarctic Ocean."
Wild Isles has no confirmed release date, though it is expected to begin in spring 2023.
