Breaking News: New Natural History Series Announced
We have exciting news about a new natural history series being developed in North America.
Blue Ant Media, operating out of Canada, has joined forces with their divisions Love Nature and Blue Ant Studios alongside Big Media from the U.S. to create Wild Science. This series, comprising six episodes, will explore the extraordinary capabilities of some of the most formidable predators on the planet.
The series aims to combine high-quality CGI and real-life footage with a thorough scientific approach to zoology to showcase how various predators, from those in the deep ocean to those dominating the land, engage in hunting, survival, and territorial dominance. The producers aim to merge breathtaking cinematography with insightful scientific narratives to produce a high-tech wildlife series that unveils animal behaviors never seen before.
Production and Distribution
Currently, production activities are taking place across Big Media’s global studios located in Prague, Czech Republic, and London, UK. Love Nature and Blue Ant Studios are not only co-producing but also handling the distribution rights for the series, with some exceptions in specific regions.
Both Big Media and Blue Ant have a history of collaboration, having previously formed licensing deals for content on Canadian platforms and FAST channels.
Danny Wilk, Co-Founder & President of BIG Media, commented on the partnership, “Blue Ant has consistently supported and promoted our offerings. With Wild Science, we are pushing the envelope not only by providing top-tier factual content but by employing our progressive co-matrix production model which continues to evolve and set trends in the media industry. We are confident that this visually striking series will capture the attention of both viewers and distributors globally.”
