David Attenborough will star in several upcoming BBC projects
The multiple BAFTA Award winner will star in three upcoming BBC projects, one of which might be The Green Planet II.
BBC’s Head of Commissioning, Specialist Factual, Jack Bootle, opened up on Sir David Attenborough’s involvement in the projects. In an official statement, he said, “Natural History is at the heart of what makes the BBC special.”
Bootle added, “No other broadcaster invests so consistently in wildlife filmmaking or covers such an ambitious range of subjects and styles – from David Attenborough exploring the wildlife of his own city, to a team of intrepid filmmakers risking it all to document the secret lives of tigers in Nepal.”
“The BBC remains the place to come to see beautiful, intelligent and entertaining programmes about the natural world, and I’m proud we continue to lead the way at a time of such uncertainty for our planet,” the BBC executive concluded.
David Attenborough is confirmed to be part of two natural series for the BBC, namely Wild London and Kingdom. It will witness him exploring the wildlife secrets of the country. Tom Hugh-Jones, Executive producer of the programme, talked about the show.
Hugh-Jones explained that Wild London will “capture that Attenborough magic at its very best.” It will capture him closely with the animals and ” talking intimately about his own wildlife experiences.” On the other hand, Kingdom will be a six-part wildlife series covering the real-life stories of four African animal families.
Besides Wild London and Kingdom, Sir David Attenborough is also expected to narrate The Green Planet II. While BBC has yet to confirm his involvement, he is likely confirmed, given that he hosted the first season.
Kingdom and The Green Planet II will air on BBC Two and iPlayer.
