CuriosityStream Original Evolve in the Works

Production has started on the CuriosityStream original Evolve, a six-part docuseries exploring biomimicry.

Filming on four continents with the production team at Beach House Pictures, a Blue Ant Media company, the series will explore how humanity can solve many of the issues facing us today by “mimicking” innovations found in nature. In Evolve, biologist and wildlife documentary filmmaker Patrick Aryee will take viewers into a world of natural history, future science and technology.

From revolutionizing healthcare to transforming transportation, each adventure in the series will focus on a different challenge and demonstrate how nature has already solved many of the problems we face today. Using cutting-edge CGI, the series will explore a future where the technology of the future is already applied and each problem is solved.

Aryee said: “We live in a laboratory where nature is constantly evolving—from stunning animal superstars to mundane, unsuspecting heroes of the wild. From awe to wonder, it all has something to teach us. I genuinely believe that our future survival as a species lies in understanding and appreciating the inner workings of our natural world. It’s been the opportunity of a lifetime to work with some of humanity’s greatest minds in order to truly learn from mother nature. The journey might not be seamless, but evolution rarely is.”

Rob Burk, head of original content for CuriosityStream, said: “Evolve is going to be a truly immersive odyssey, making engaging natural history television in a new way, exploring the past, the present, and most importantly, the future. Patrick will break down the fourth wall and bring viewers inside every adventure and every discovery, promising moments that are ceaselessly intimate, occasionally funny and infinitely revealing.”

Rob Sixsmith, head of factual at Beach House Pictures, said: “There’s hardly a better argument for conservation than the fact that a creature exists out there, from the tiny tardigrade through to the majestic cheetah, that might save our lives or even change our trajectory as a species. It’s a series that is crucial for our times and we are truly thankful to CuriosityStream, Singapore’s IMDA, Blue Ant Media and Abacus Media Rights for making this happen.”
