David Attenborough to Narrate BBC's Blue Planet III at 100
Sir David Attenborough, celebrating his centennial milestone, is set to lend his voice to a new documentary series titled 'Blue Planet III.' This six-part program, created by the BBC Studios Natural History Unit, aims to enhance marine observations using cutting-edge technology, such as splash drones and long-term remote cameras. The announcement took place at London's Royal Albert Hall during the event commemorating Attenborough’s remarkable 100 years. Spanning five unique marine ecosystems, the series will culminate in a conservation-centric episode named 'Future Seas' and is scheduled to premiere later this year on BBC One, BBC iPlayer, and BBC America.
