Love Nature Commissions New Natural History Content

Blue Ant Media’s Love Nature has greenlit four new natural history series: Europe’s Wild Kingdoms, Superbeast, Aussie Snake Wranglers: Deadly Pursuit season two and Wild Germany.

“These new series reflect our global commissioning strategy of investing in compelling and unexpected natural history content that connects with audiences on our owned and operated linear and streaming channels,” said Alison Barrat, senior VP and head of content for global channels and streaming. “Leveraging Blue Ant’s integrated approach between our channels and rights businesses allows us to maximize the reach of our original commissions with third-party platform partners.”

Blue Ant Rights is handling distribution in non-commissioning territories.

Europe’s Wild Kingdoms, produced by Le Cinquième Rêve and co-produced by ARTE, delves into Europe’s most beautiful heritage sites to reveal how they are linked to the wildlife living there. Mont-St-Michel and the castles of the Loire Valley in France, Bran Castle in Romania, Alhambra in Spain and Duart Castle in Scotland all hide secrets and surprises.

The second season of Aussie Snake Wranglers: Deadly Pursuit, from Breakout Productions, continues to follow a team of elite snake handlers as they go head-to-head with some of the deadliest snakes on the planet.

Produced by WildBear Entertainment, Superbeast captures nature at its rawest and most powerful. Each episode delivers an ascending list of the top-tier wildlife abilities in a specific category. The list is curated for surprise, whether that’s the fastest, deadliest, sneakiest or trickiest. While the cheetah is technically the fastest thing on land, there is a viper with a strike so fast that it can’t be seen.

Doclights’ Wild Germany offers a portrait of the ancient cultural landscape of northern Germany, where forests, wetlands and mountains shelter an abundance of life, including elusive wildcats, lynxes, wolves, mouflons, nutrias, dragonflies and more than 200 bird species.
