What to expect from Life on Our Planet: Plot, trailer, and more
The trailer for the upcoming Netflix series features a plethora of stunning visuals that viewers can expect. From the looks of the trailer, the series seems to promise taking viewers back to the evolution of life while going through important eras in the history of the planet. The official description of the series, as per Netflix, reads:
"The incredible story of life's epic, four-billion-year journey on Earth comes alive in this series from Steven Spielberg and the team behind "Our Planet."
With historic marvels like the dinosaurs roaming the land and aquatic creatures that more closely resembled monsters swimming through the ocean, there were many more species than the 20 million that are currently known to exist. In order to frame the history of the world via its five previous mass extinction events—and what that means for life today—the series employs the most recent advances in paleontology and graphics technology to bring long-extinct species back to life.
Life on Our Planet is made by the same Silverback Films team that produced the Emmy-winning Our Planet documentary series on Netflix, which featured the legendary David Attenborough as the narrator. The upcoming series is created by Silverback Films in collaboration with Steven Spielberg's Amblin Entertainment.
