Reconstructed with the latest scientific knowledge, “Prehistoric Planet: Ice Age” combines current science with cinematic visuals to showcase the intelligence and complex social behaviors of the Pleistocene’s iconic species. This season will explore vast tundras, deserts, expanding grasslands and melting permafrost as these creatures struggle for survival amid extreme climates, the beginning of “The Big Freeze,” and eventually, “The Big Melt.”
“Prehistoric Planet: Ice Age” debuts on Wednesday, November 26, and continues the storytelling journey of Apple TV’s acclaimed, Emmy Award-nominated natural history series “Prehistoric Planet,” which transported audiences 66 million years into the past to witness the age of dinosaurs across two celebrated seasons. Blending cinematic storytelling with photorealistic visual effects, the series brings ancient worlds to life, offering a firsthand look at some of the most extraordinary creatures ever to walk the Earth. The complete first two seasons of “Prehistoric Planet” are now streaming globally on Apple TV.
