From the producers of Walking with Dinosaurs comes an eight-part docuseries spanning 450 million years that revisits eight of Earth's major extinction events. Bringing some of the planet's most extraordinary geological eras to vivid life, the all-new footage created in partnership with real scientific insight explores the lives of animals we know and love, including mammoths, saber-toothed cats and dinosaurs, alongside some of evolution's truly unique creatures, like gorgonopsians, pliosaurs, glyptotherium and more. Together, they tell the story of how life has endured the impossible -- and never stopped fighting for survival.
