Planet Earth is getting a sequel narrated by David Attenborough

British broadcaster David Attenborough will narrate Planet Earth II, Variety reports.

A decade after the hit show aired, the follow-up six-installment documentary series is set to air on BBC, BBC America, and in other markets across the world.

"Ten years after Planet Earth first brought the wonders of the natural world to viewers in HD, Planet Earth II is another game-changer," executive producer Mike Gunton said. "Shot in UHD, the epic scale and ambition of this series is second to none. It will be a truly immersive experience, providing audiences with a unique perspective on the most extraordinary places and animals on our planet."
