10 years after the original, stunning and award winning “Planet Earth” was released, the BBC unveiled the even more impressive sequel “Planet Earth II”, which is now finally available in even more stunning 4K UHD resolution with HDR.

 

 

Now, the BBC is also putting together the sequel to their other major nature documentary series “The Blue Planet” a full 15 years after its 2001 release. Blue Planet II will consist of seven hour long episodes of some of the best underwater nature video ever captured and will be featured for public release by the BBC and affiliated sources later in 2017 in the same 4K resolution with HDR as “Planet Earth II”

 

 

The new Blue Planet series is the result of four years of intensive worldwide filming by the BBC’s Natural History Unit (NHU) and just like both Planet Earth series and the original “The Blue Planet”, it will be narrated by the rather distinguished voice of Sir David Attenborough.

Landing over 15 years since the original Blue Planet aired in 2001, the new series will consist of seven hour-long episodes and be broadcast on BBC One later this year.

 

 

It has taken the BBC’s Natural History Unit (NHU) four years of filming to create the series and the footage will be narrated by the broadcasting legend Sir David Attenborough.

 

 

“I am truly thrilled to be joining this new exploration of the underwater worlds which cover most of our planet, yet are still its least known,” said Attenborough in a BBC announcement.

 

 

The crew behind the series have taken shooting to a new level by utilising the very latest in UHD camera technology.

 

 

Viewers will undoubtedly look on with wonder as specialist tow cams give a front-on view of predatory fish and dolphins.

 

 

Suction cams attached to the back of some of the largest beasts of the deep will provide a different perspective, while UHD probe cameras give viewers a first-hand view of the very smallest of marine life.

 

 

Planet Earth II, which aired to near universal acclaim last year, was the corporation’s first ever 4K series and will be released on 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray early next month.

 

 

However, the BBC only actually put out four minutes of 4K footage from Planet Earth II on broadcast tele, so any early 4K TV adopters will have their fingers crossed that more ambitious plans are afoot for Blue Planet II.
