Apple has shared an official trailer for 'The Secret Lives of Animals,' its new nature docuseries narrated by Hugh Bonneville. The series highlights 77 unique species in 24 countries over three years, revealing stunning, never-before-seen animal behaviors and highlighting the remarkable intelligence of the natural world.
"The Secret Lives of Animals" utilizes cutting-edge technology to showcase new and remarkable animal behaviors. For the first time, "The Secret Lives of Animals" captures the sounds and vibrations of a unique jumping spider courtship dance, a killifish in Trinidad breathing through its tail when out of the water, and a wood mouse marking its territory with signposts. Witness a rarely seen relationship between a frog and a tarantula, a land lizard that can breathe underwater, and a monkey that uses a bizarre nose-poking ritual as a test of friendship. Each episode focuses on specific behaviors that are pivotal in the life cycles of various animals — from birth and leaving home to raising a family, and from finding food to growing old — highlighting their striking intelligence and adaptability.
"The Secret Lives of Animals" is produced for Apple TV+ by BBC Studios Natural History Unit, with Matt Brandon ("Planet Earth III") serving as showrunner and Roger Webb ("Mammals," "Big Cats 24/7") serving as executive producer. The series marks the third collaboration between the BBC Studios Natural History Unit and Apple TV+, following the hit Emmy Award-nominated series "Prehistoric Planet" and "The Year Earth Changed."
The series will debut globally on December 18 on Apple TV+.
