ABOUT

From the Emmy® Award-winning team behind Our Planet, Our Planet II and Planet Earth comes a new live experience: The Making of Our Planet. A lecture series designed to entertain, inform and inspire. The lectures, complete with the spectacular and innovative cinematography from the Sir David Attenborough-narrated Netflix series Our Planet, are devoted to behind-the-scenes insights into what it takes to work and film in some of nature’s most dramatic and challenging environments.

Produced by Silverback Films and esk, in association with Netflix, each lecture will feature a speaker at the heart of the creative, filming and producing process. “Frozen Worlds” will focus on the coldest and harshest places on our planet, featuring producers Sophie Lanfear, Elisabeth Oakham and Huw Cordey. “Life on Our Planet” with producers Dan Tapster and Keith Scholey will transport the audience into how life has evolved and adapted throughout history, and how mass extinction events have established us as the dominant species — for now.

Working with international touring agency IMG Artists and touring across North America from October 2024, the power, drama and excitement of the series will be experienced on the big screen along with making-of footage, stories from location shoots, and insights into our natural world.
