The Secret Lives of Animals on Apple TV+ for December – Today, Apple TV+ announced an all-new 10-part docuseries “The Secret Lives of Animals,” narrated by SAG Award winner Hugh Bonneville (“Paddington,” “Downton Abbey”). “The Secret Lives of Animals” highlights 77 unique species in 24 countries over three years, revealing stunning, never-before-seen animal behaviours and highlighting the remarkable intelligence of the natural world. Hailing from the acclaimed BBC Studios Natural History Unit, the series will debut on Wednesday, 18 December on Apple TV+.
“The Secret Lives of Animals” both inspires and delights viewers with its vibrant exploration of extraordinary animal behaviours, many captured on film for the first time. Each episode delves into pivotal moments in the life cycles of various animals—from birth and leaving home to raising a family, and from finding food to growing old—showcasing their striking intelligence and adaptability. Highlights include an orb-weaving spider constructing a deceptive “self-portrait” puppet to deter predators; the first-ever recorded vocalisations between olive ridley turtle hatchlings while still inside their eggs; and an unexpected relationship between a reticulated humming frog and a burrowing tarantula.
The series explores some of Australia’s fauna, unveiling hidden secrets from the worlds of Palm Cockatoos, Australian Fur Seals and the iconic Kangaroo.
“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 (“Nature,” “Blue Planet Revisited”) 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.”
