Blue Planet II Producer Mark Brownlow Joins Plimsoll

Plimsoll Productions has brought on BAFTA- and Emmy Award-winning filmmaker Mark Brownlow, whose work includes Blue Planet II and Frozen Planet II.

Brownlow joins Plimsoll’s natural-history unit as an executive producer. A seasoned and esteemed producer and director who is credited with more than 20 natural-history titles, Brownlow has spent the last 28 years with BBC.

Alongside Blue Planet II and Frozen Planet II, Brownlow executive produced a ten-part, yet-to-be-announced wildlife series for Apple TV+, along with Eden: Untamed Planet (BBC Two/AMC Networks) and Earth’s Tropical Islands (BBC/PBS).

“Mark is an inspired and respected storyteller who’s behind some of the most iconic natural history programs of our time, so it’s a huge win to bring him on board,” said Martha Holmes, chief creative officer of natural history and science at Plimsoll Productions. “We’re eager to tap into his expertise and energy to create timely and distinct content that continues to astound and uplift audiences around the world.”

Brownlow added: “I couldn’t be more delighted to join Plimsoll, which, in my view, is the most dynamic and progressive independent production company in the U.K. I look forward to bringing my big blue-chip innovation and storytelling experience to the mix and helping broaden its ever-growing, diverse and cutting-edge portfolio.”
