Full series descriptions are below:
· One Wild Day - Saturday, April 17 at 8/7c - This fresh, modern landmark natural history series is a roller-coaster through a day in the wild. The series follows some of the world's most extraordinary animals at different moments in the day as they work to survive in some of the toughest landscapes on the planet. The day changes dramatically as the clock ticks up to the silent oppressive heat of midday; a time where reptiles thrive, and gentle giants must retreat before ramping up the action to the hi-octane drama just before dusk. As dark creeps in there's an uneasy turn, plunging into the horror movie of night in the wild; a world where eerie monsters and nimble little leapers rule supreme. It all ends back in the safety of sunrise with the start of a new day. For some animals, 24 hours is the blink of an eye - for others, it's an entire lifetime - but for every creature there's a moment in its day it must take advantage of to survive. One Wild Day is distributed by NBCUniversal Global Distribution on behalf of Sky Studios.
· Earth Day Takeover - Thursday, April 22 starting at 6am/5c - A three-day takeover of the network's celebrated natural history programming, including the Emmy(R)-winning Planet Earth and Blue Planet II, in addition to Nature's Great Events, as well as Planet Earth's Dynasties on Thursday, continuing on Friday with A Wild Year On Earth, Seven Worlds, One Planet, and Planet Earth.
· Attenborough's Journey - Saturday, May 8 at 8pm/7c - As Sir David Attenborough enters his 95th year, this unique film presents a remarkable portrait of the man behind the legend. Documenting his extraordinary life, it follows Attenborough's journey from his boyhood days as a fossil hunter and his early years as a presenter, to the many innovative shows that changed the face of natural history programming by pioneering the use of technology such as 3D and 4K. This intimate special follows Attenborough's years on the road - from the islands of the Galapagos, to the mountains of Canada, to the jungles of Borneo. Combining exclusive behind-the-scenes footage, candid on location interviews and stunning moments from his groundbreaking documentaries, this film captures an Attenborough you have never seen before. Attenborough's Journey is distributed internationally by ITV Studios.
· China: Nature's Ancient Kingdom - Saturday, May 15 at 8/7c - The world's largest conservation project has been created in China. Discover the breathtaking wildlife hidden inside its stunning national parks. Narrated by Oscar-nominee Vanessa Kirby, this stunning series opens with China's mountainous terrains, where foxes, antelopes, and snow leopards thrive in harsh conditions. It then moves to dense forests that host the extraordinary snub-nosed monkeys and iconic giant pandas. Finally, on the fringes of the city, people must make space for nature and find a way to live alongside some spectacular animals. With 20% of China designated as protected land, how are the Chinese people adapting to their country's conservation efforts? And could this landmark project inspire similar projects across the globe?

Please, the meerkat cliff hanger must be resolved. There are 3 more pregnant sisters due any day, Belle-hurricaine killed her sisters kits and she gave birth herself in a bid to take over, but 3 more litters are on the way and the Matriarch may have something to say, and is pregnant herself. Come on! Don’t leave it like this.
I did not miss an episode of the original Meerkat Manor with Matriarch Flower and was thrilled with the sequel starring her offspring. I have to know what happens to the three clans, Hakuna Matata, Ubuntu and Whiskers!
When is it coming?
