New David Attenborough Doc Life In Colour

BBC has unveiled a brand-new series presented by David Attenborough, Life In Colour, which is also made for Netflix and Nine in Australia.

Made by Bristol-based Humble Bee Films and Sydney-based SeaLight Pictures, Life In Colour will explore the many ways animals use color throughout their lives. Using new cameras built specifically for this series, Life In Colour will reveal a world of color normally invisible to human eyes.

The series is set to debut in early 2021.

Patrick Holland, controller of BBC Two, said: “Any series authored by Sir David is very special and this promises to be exceptional. I am looking forward to seeing the combination of innovative photography and rich analysis to explore the role color plays in animals’ lives.”

Tom McDonald, head of commissioning for natural history and specialist factual, added: “Life In Colour promises to be a unique and original insight into the natural world. Deploying innovative new technology to reveal our world in new ways, I’m thrilled that we are working with Sir David on a series which promises spectacle and insight.”

Stephen Dunleavy, executive producer for Humble Bee Films, commented: “We are delighted to be working with David again on such an exciting series. The use of color is an underexplored aspect of animal behavior and we are looking forward to taking newly designed cameras into the field to help reveal the whole story. It will be a beautiful and revelatory series.”
