If you are not familiar with Life on Our Planet the series is a new documentary series which will be on Netflix from October 25th. Created by Silverback Films with Steven Spielberg executive producing and Morgan Freeman narrating. The series looks set to bring prehistoric history to life, providing viewers with palaeontological insight into the ancient past depicting prehistoric flora and fauna in stunning locations throughout the world.

You can check out the new trailer below.

I have covered Life on Our Planet quite a lot on the website recently, in an article covering the official teaser trailer and another focusing on the episode list for the series. All I can say though after watching the official trailer is wow!

New *Life on Our Planet* official posters have dropped from Netflix, this one focuses on *Smilodon* the saber-toothed cat. Image credit: Netflix, 2023.

I am thrilled that we not only have Prehistoric Planet to watch but we also have Life on Our Planet on the way as well. Life on Our Planet looks distinct enough from Prehistoric Planet to not confuse audiences and will be showing more of the geological timeline of events that occurred throughout Earth’s life history.

Unlike Prehistoric Planet which focused on the Maastrichtian of the Late Cretaceous, this new Netflix series will focus on the Paleozoic, Mesozoic, and Cenozoic eras as well. The documentary series reminds me of a more up to date version of Walking with Dinosaurs and Walking with Beasts combined into one series. With eight episodes to watch, there should be plenty of natural history content to keep palaeontologists, palaeomedia enthusiasts and documentary watchers happy.

The teaser trailer for Life on Our Planet dropped a month ago so it makes sense that the official trailer would drop a month from release. The teaser trailer has already had 1.7 million views.

It is fantastic to see more up to date research and scientific knowledge on display in this new series and I am looking forward to watching it all on October 25th. I will be reviewing Life on Our Planet once I have seen the series, so you will want to keep an eye on my website over the coming months for when my review drops.

In terms of website development, I will be working on the fifth dinosaur fact file for the website over the coming weeks. Things have been a bit delayed on the fact file front, due to me starting a new job role recently and adjusting to my new work hours.

I have however added a new page to the scicomm tab, focused on my science communication engagement volunteering work at the Pliosaurus! Exhibition from 2017-2018 at Bristol Museum, so do check that out!

You can find all my science communication outreach links at the scicomm links page. The dinosaur fact file tab is also a fun place where you can find out more dinosaur palaeobiology information.
