It captures pandas, king cobras, white-lipped deer, tigers, flower mantises and more.<\/p>\n<p><em>China\u2019s Wild Secrets<\/em> highlights the recoveries and ongoing challenges faced by these and other species.<\/p>\n<p>TVF International has already presold the series to WDR\/ARTE and pan-regional broadcaster Viasat World in Central and Eastern Europe and Scandinavia. It has also presold the title to SRMG-owned Arabic-language platform Asharq Discovery for the Middle East and North Africa.<\/p>\n<p><em>China\u2019s Wild Secrets<\/em> is set to be completed in July and will officially launch at MIPCOM this October.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNarrating this wonderful series has been such a richly fulfilling and pleasurable experience,\u201d Fry said. \u201cI kept having to stop my reading just to gasp in wonder at the astonishing footage that the production crew managed to secure, much of it recording behavior never before captured on film. From the perky little pikas to the imperious Siberian tiger and so much in between, China contains a simply bewildering variety of wildlife that enacts its fabulous rituals of preying, fleeing, fighting, mating and breeding in dazzingly diverse habitats. What an honor to be involved in such a series.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Julian Chou-Lambert, international executive producer for the series and TVF\u2019s lead for China, added, \u201cWe are absolutely delighted to have someone as iconic as Sir Stephen on board this landmark series. His charm, creativity and humor, combined with his deep passion for wildlife and the natural environment, make him the ideal narrator to reveal <em>China\u2019s Wild Secrets<\/em> to global audiences. The film-makers went to extraordinary lengths to capture both well-loved and little-known species in new ways, and we\u2019re sure that viewers will be amazed by the series\u2019 unique artistic, environmental and dramatic qualities.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TVF International has come on board China\u2019s Wild Secrets, a five-part series narrated by Stephen Fry, as distributor and co-producer alongside bilibili.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1412,"featured_media":23225,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[10128,4845,4550,3195],"class_list":["post-23223","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-chinas-wild-secrets","tag-julian-chou-lambert","tag-stephen-fry","tag-tvf-international","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>TVF International Takes on China\u2019s Wild Secrets with Stephen Fry - TVREAL<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/?p=23223\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"TVF International Takes on China\u2019s Wild Secrets with Stephen Fry - TVREAL\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"TVF International has come on board China\u2019s Wild Secrets, a five-part series narrated by Stephen Fry, as distributor and co-producer alongside bilibili.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/?p=23223\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVREAL\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2025-06-24T12:30:10+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2025-06-24T12:45:08+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2025\/06\/TVFInternational-ChinasWildSecrets-0625.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"640\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"394\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Jamie Stalcup\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Jamie Stalcup\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/?p=23223\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/?p=23223\",\"name\":\"TVF International Takes on China\u2019s Wild Secrets with Stephen Fry - TVREAL\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2025-06-24T12:30:10+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2025-06-24T12:45:08+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#\/schema\/person\/0da12602224807cc7b179b8405018deb\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/?p=23223#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/?p=23223\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/?p=23223#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"TVF International Takes on China\u2019s Wild Secrets with Stephen Fry\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/\",\"name\":\"TVREAL\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#\/schema\/person\/0da12602224807cc7b179b8405018deb\",\"name\":\"Jamie Stalcup\",\"description\":\"Jamie Stalcup is the executive editor of World Screen.
