Each episode of the 4×60’ series captures fleeting windows of time when the conditions are just right for animals to spring into action, from high tide in the Australian coral reef to just before dawn in the Kalahari Desert.

Executive producers are Alex Williamson, Isla Robertson and Sam Hodgson. Fremantle is handling global distribution.

Isla Roberston, co-founder and MD, Offspring Films, said: “We’re hugely excited to be working with PBS, The BBC and Fremantle on this innovative new series. It’s more important than ever to bring creative collaborators together to finance ambitious series like this.”
