Prehistoric Planet (Season 2, 2023)

Post by Executive Hamster »

It seems like Apple is doing a helluva dinosaur documentary. Pulling out all the stops too. They got Richard Attenborough and some great cgi. Perhaps this could be the WWD spiritual successor we've always wanted? Apparently Jon Favreau is doing it. All good signs.

From the sounds of it BBC didn't wanna fund it so Apple picked it up, got some great talent working on this one. Darren Naish for sure is on it and has assured it's the doc we've all been waiting years for.

I know I said this before, but does anyone hope that if this show's successful, a sequel focusing on the Cenozoic era could follow?

I'd love that tbh. Just having a season faced on a different era and the plant fauna then. Like, this is Maastrichtian Cretaceous but next could be Permian, or Plesitocene or Miocene or Pennsylvanian.

Hope we also get a successor on the Cenozoic Age.

That said though, hope they focus more on lesser-known dinosaurs. I'd like acrocanthosaurus to notably be featured. Monsters Resurrection had an episode revolving around it but that documentary wasn't exactly the most accurate...

Well I believe the promo also had late jurassic, I think the sauropods with the air sacs were Brontosaurus excelsius.

The series is set in the Cretaceous.

Yeah, specifically the first mention of it pre trailer said it took place "in the last days of the dinosaurs" and everything we've seen in the trailer (T. Rex, Pachyrhinosaurus, Qinzhousaurus, Hatzegopteryx) lined up with 66 MYA.

They have good names attached to the project, and the CGI is quality. This is worth a view.
The secret of life is honesty and fair dealing. If you can fake that, you've got it made.

That's how I honestly feel about it. But of course, people are gonna have "you know what" measuring contests about it and take pot shots at each other.

Offfical Trailer!


Maastrichtian date is 100% confirmed now. Interested to see how this is split up (with all the different locales) but looks fantastic
