BBC America pre-buys Love Nature doc series Chasing the Rains from Blue Ant

Chasing the Rains follows the Royals elephant clan, as well as wild dogs and cheetahs

BBC America has pre-bought the Love Nature original documentary series Chasing the Rains from distributor Blue Ant International.

The 4×60′ Maramedia-produced series takes audiences on a journey into one of the most majestic, unspoiled and rarely filmed areas of wilderness in Africa.

Narrated by Adjoa Andoh (Bridgerton), the series follows three separate animal matriarchs as they attempt to overcome incredible obstacles in order to protect their families during one of Africa’s worst droughts in 20 years.

It comes after BBC Studios-owned BBC America previously picked up Africa’s Wild Year (4×60′), a Merx International-produced series set over the course of a single year in 10 different countries in Africa.

Each episode focuses on one of the four seasons and reveals how animals adapt to sweeping weather variations across the continent. The documentary series made its US territory debut in August last year.

“I can’t think of a better home for two of our most stunning documentaries coming out of the Love Nature brand,” said Bryan Gabourie, senior VP of international sales and partnerships at Blue Ant International.
