The Beauty Of ‘Our Planet Earth’ in 4K – Part 2


The Netflix TV series, Our Planet Is a Beautiful but Punishing Glimpse of Earth’s Worst-Case Scenario. Netflix is making a slew of its documentaries available for free on YouTube, including the popular David Attenborough-narrated nature documentary series Our Planet, to make educational resources available to children who cannot attend school due to the coronavirus pandemic.

For many years, Netflix has allowed teachers to screen documentaries in their classrooms, however, this isn’t possible with schools closed. So, for your viewing enjoyment, we have made and edited a short snippet from the eight-part documentary features and series. We are pleased to share Part 2 and we hope this will, in a small way, help us all understand what a wonderful world we all live in.

Our Planet is a follow-up to the hit series Planet Earth, showing the lives of animals as filmed in 50 different countries around the world.

It is a British nature documentary series made for Netflix. The series is narrated by Legendary broadcaster and naturalist Sir David Attenborough and produced by Silverback Films, led by Alastair Fothergill and Keith Scholey, who also created BBC documentary series Planet EarthFrozen Planet and The Blue Planet, in collaboration with the conservation charity World Wildlife Fund (WWF).

The series addresses issues of conservation while featuring these disparate animals in their respective home regions and has been noted for its greater focus on humans' impact on the environment than traditional nature documentaries, centring around how climate change impacts all living creatures.

Our Planet will become a live experience and tour international arenas in 2020 and 2021, subject to Coronavirus restrictions being lifted. Our Planet Live in Concert will be presented in a form of a multimedia spectacle, combining highlights from the series with brand new arrangements for the live production, and new on-screen narration by David Attenborough.

The eight-part series will be reimagined into a two-hour arena show, including three giant 4K screens, a 66-piece orchestra, and live vocalist Lisa Hannigan. The live production is developed by the series producers Silverback Films, and the Oscar-winning composer of the series, Steven Price.

Our Planet Live will start touring on October 2020 (subject to COVID-19 restrictions) with its World Premiere in London and will have Steven Price host the live events.

Here are the first few dates:

  • on 16 October 2020 at 3Arena in Dublin, Ireland, performed by the RTÉ National Symphony Orchestra
  • on 18 October 2020 at the O2 Arena in London, England, performed by the Philharmonia Orchestra
  • on 19 October 2020 at SSE Hydro in Glasgow, Scotland, performed by the Royal Scottish National Orchestra

What you can do now

We can win the biggest battles in the smallest moments. Whether it's making changes in your lifestyle or calling on world leaders to come together and act to protect nature, we all have a role to play in the fight for wildlife, people and our planet.

In the time it takes to say ‘deforestation’, another chunk of forest the size of a football pitch is destroyed. That’s every two seconds, every single day.   

And the leading cause of this deforestation is food production: including the food we eat right here in the UK. Too often it’s causing deforestation and making the climate crisis worse. 

So, it’s time to act.
