BBC Studios’ natural history series “Asia,” narrated by David Attenborough, will premiere in China on Nov. 5 across multiple platforms, BBC Studios president of global markets Nick Percy revealed at the Shanghai-London Screen Industry Forum held at BAFTA in London on Friday.
The seven-part series will launch on Dragon TV and streaming platforms iQIYI, Tencent Video, Youku and Bilibili through partnerships with Shanghai Media Group and Phoenix TV. Filmed over nearly four years, the series explores locations from the Himalayas to the Western Pacific, featuring wildlife stories including elephants that have learned to stop buses to steal food in Sri Lanka and sea snakes hunting in partnership with fish.
Percy also highlighted BBC Studios’ expanding partnership with Shanghai Media Group, including the upcoming Chinese adaptation of BBC’s long-running crime series “Silent Witness,” titled “Forensic,” announced at Mipcom earlier this week.
The forum, in its second edition, drew over 230 industry professionals.
