Prehistoric Planet is a nature documentary television series about prehistoric animals that premiered on Apple TV+ beginning May 23, 2022. The first two seasons (2022–23) are produced by the BBC Studios Natural History Unit, with Jon Favreau as showrunner, visual effects by The Moving Picture Company, and narration by natural historian Sir David Attenborough. These seasons follow dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals, recreated with computer-generated imagery, living around the globe in the Late Cretaceous period 66 million years ago (Maastrichtian), just before the non-avian dinosaurs' extinction. The show intends to reflect modern palaeontological research, with informed depictions of prehistoric life alongside speculative animal behavior. A third season titled Prehistoric Planet: Ice Age, narrated by Tom Hiddleston and focusing on Pleistocene megafauna, was released in 2025.
