It will launch globally on April 5 and be narrated by renowned British naturalist Sir David Attenborough, who famously also narrated both original BBC programs.

"Our Planet will take viewers on a spectacular journey of discovery showcasing the beauty and fragility of our natural world," said Attenborough, whose latest BBC wildlife series Dynasties is also set to launch in early 2019. "Today we have become the greatest threat to the health of our home but there's still time for us to address the challenges we've created, if we act now. We need the world to pay attention."

It promises to showcase the planet's most precious species as well as their fragile habitats using the latest in 4K camera technology.
