The first official look at Netflix and BBC Studios’ upcoming documentary series Our Universe, narrated by Morgan Freeman, has been released, previewing a series that explores how everything in the world is connected.
The new six-part series will premiere on the streaming service on Tuesday, November 22. It will explore how all things, from the tiniest cell to human beings, are connected in the world. The trailer for the series teases much more than just a simple nature documentary, however, with scenes depicting the formation of the universe as well as exploring how events throughout the universe have come to craft what we are now.
Check out the trailer for Netflix’s Our Universe below:
“From BBC Studios and narrated by Academy Award-winner Morgan Freeman, comes this unprecedented six-part series, an epic tale 13.8 billion years in the making,” reads the official synopsis for the series. “Blending stunning wildlife footage with eye-popping cosmic special effects, it takes viewers on a fascinating adventure to explore the connections that drive our natural world. From the birth of the Sun to the birth of a sea turtle, Our Universe uses groundbreaking animation to dramatize the spectacular celestial forces that generated our solar system, while modern camera and CGI technology bring the audience up close and personal with some of the most iconic, charismatic animals on Earth. Watch the changing seasons impact an Alaskan brown bear and her cubs; learn what a single blade of grass has to do with a hungry cheetah on the Serengeti; soar through the waters of the Southern Ocean as the romance of two penguins underscores the most powerful force in the galaxy. Designed for viewers of all ages, this is the story of how life came to be on this fragile, resilient, irreplaceable planet we call home.”
Our Universe is written, directed, and produced by Alice Jones, Stephen Cooter, and Naomi Austin. The series will be available on Netflix beginning on November 22, 2022.
