David Attenborough's 'Wild Isles' Love Letter to the U.K. Will Stream on Amazon

David Attenborough's Frozen Planet II only just finished airing on BBC America in March, but there's already another Attenborough series on the way for April and Earth Day 2023. His latest special, Wild Isles, which aired on BBC One in February 2023 (though not without some controversy), is flying across the pond to American shores just in time for the international celebration of our planet.

However, in a surprising move, the five-part series will not be nesting in its usual home on BBC America, nor will it waddle over to PBS, which was the home to many Attenborough specials during the heyday of broadcast TV. Instead, the series is coming as a binge-drop to Amazon Prime Video.

As is obvious from the trailer, Wild Isles is something of a cinematic love letter to the 96-year-old Attenborough's home turf of the British Isles. (The first episode is literally titled "Our Precious Isles.") As many of his specials tend to do, each following episode breaks the landscape down by type; "Woodland," "Grassland," "Fresh Water," and "Ocean." Like all of Attenborough's releases since Planet Earth in 2003, the show comes with a sixth bonus behind-the-scenes special that covers the making of the series, as well as Attenborough's continuing thoughts on how climate change is affecting the world he's been covering and bearing witness to for half a century.
