Video Interview: The Secret Lives of Animals’ Matt Brandon & Mark Flowers

Three years in the making, The Secret Lives of Animals is an exploration of extraordinary animal behaviors—some of which were captured on film for the first time. It features 77 unique species in 24 countries, looking at pivotal moments in their life cycles—from birth and leaving home to raising a family, finding food and growing old—that showcase their intelligence and adaptability. Hugh Bonneville (Paddington, Downton Abbey) narrates all the action.

The Secret Lives of Animals is produced for Apple TV+ by BBC Studios Natural History Unit, marking their third collaboration, following the Emmy Award-nominated series Prehistoric Planet and The Year Earth Changed.

Matt Brandon, showrunner, and Mark Flowers, series producer, take TV Real Weekly behind the scenes of The Secret Lives of Animals, looking at the camera technology and techniques used to capture new animal behaviors.
