Grylls tackles life on the edge of Hostile Planet

Bear Grylls has said his new nature documentary will remind audiences that nature is “brutal, tough and unforgiving”.

Hostile Planet sees the makers of Planet Earth II and The Blue Planet show nature at its most extreme.

The six-episode series will explore a different environment – mountains, oceans, grasslands, jungles, deserts and the poles – in each instalment.

Chief Scout Grylls, the host, narrator and executive producer of the show, said: “Hos0 Bear Grylls: ‘Nature is brutal and tough and unforgiving’

tile Planet is going to remind you that nature is brutal and tough and unforgiving. We’re showing life really on the edges.”

Hostile Planet starts on 28 April on National Geographic.
