ZDFE & ARTE Team for Surviving Hothouse Earth

ZDF Enterprises and ARTE have joined forces to co-produce the new climate change docuseries Surviving Hothouse Earth.

The three-parter takes a look at Earth’s distant past to understand its present and offer a forecast of what’s to come. By studying previous phases in the planet’s history, scientists hope to find clues to how we could survive in the future amid global warming.

Each of the three episodes in Surviving Hothouse Earth addresses a separate topic, covering oceans, land and civilization. The docuseries features interviews with international experts, CGI elements and satellite image-based animations.

Surviving Hothouse Earth is produced by Bilderfest Factual Entertainment for ZDF in association with ARTE and ZDF Enterprises, which also holds international distribution rights.

Ralf Rueckauer, VP ZDFE.unscripted, ZDF Enterprises, said: “With climate change being the biggest challenge we face today, Surviving Hothouse Earth will offer a fascinating insight on the scientific research that is being undertaken to help mankind find a solution. It will also give audiences a vision of what life would be like in a Hothouse period.”
