Netflix to show Our Planet sequel

The sweeping documentary series Planet Earth is getting a sequel.

Our Planet will focus on the Earth’s last wilderness areas and the animals living there, the project’s British producers said Wednesday.

The filmmakers said they plan to use the latest digital camera technology as they venture from the planet’s ice caps to ocean depths to deserts and remote forests.

Audiences will have to be patient: the eight-part series will take four years to make and is planned for a 2019 debut for Netflix customers internationally.

Our Planet is being produced by U.K.-based Silverback Films in collaboration with World Wildlife Fund, an independent conservation group. Silverback company directors Alastair Fothergill and Keith Scholey, whose credits include Frozen Planet and African Cats as well as Planet Earth, will lead the production.

“We will reveal the most amazing sights on Earth and show them in ways they have never been seen before,” Fothergill and Scholey promised in a statement.
