BBC’s ‘Planet Earth II’ Will Have Closer And More Intimate Shots Of Our Wolrd

The British TV series "Planet Earth" was able to bring amazing footages of animals and ecosystems around the world as it was the most expensive nature documentary series BBC has ever developed in 2006. Ten years later, and with the latest technologies such as drones and motion-activated cameras, "Planet Earth 2" will bring even more amazing and more intimate shots of our world, according to Fast Company.

According to executive producer Mike Gunton, one of the differences between "Planet Earth" and "Planet Earth 2" is the technology. He stated that the first series was able to deliver a godlike perspective in observing. With the follow-up series, the show took that technology, minimized it and was given to the cameramen without the use of a tripod. The drones have allowed the show to experience the lives of the animals instead of merely observing.

The footages captured by the show with its latest technologies even surprised narrator and veteran naturalist sir David Attenborough. He stated that the most difficult animal to film was the snow leopard as it was very rare and only two can exist inside of 100 square miles of the Karakoram Mountains in the Himalayas.

In addition, "Planet Earth 2" will premiere in the US and Australia in Feb. 18 according to International Business Times. When the show premiered in the UK on Nov. 6, 2016, it managed to attract more than nine million viewers.

The show will be simulcast on BBC America, Sundance TV and AMC in the US, while in Australia; Channel Nine will host the premiere.
