Gorgeous scenes of monkeys, bears, lions, and other creatures are featured in the new trailer for BBC America and BBC Studios Natural History Unit’s Mammals. Backed by a reworked version of Coldplay’s “Paradise,” narrator Sir David Attenborough describes what it takes for mammals to survive in the modern world.
“The BBC’s Natural History output has long been a source of joy and wonder to the world and it’s an honour be a part of this stunning new series. It’s a dream come true to assist Sir David Attenborough and his team in their ongoing mission to celebrate the beauty of our planet.” – Coldplay
The six-episode documentary series will premiere this summer on BBC America and AMC+.
“To be bringing together the supremely creative talents of Coldplay and Thomas Farnon, the composer behind the Mammals score, to collaborate on the global hit, ‘Paradise,’ is incredible,” said executive producer Roger Webb.

BBC America, AMC+, and Sir David Attenborough turn their attention to mammals with their latest natural history series, Mammals. The six-part series will premiere this summer, 20 years after Attenborough’s Life of Mammals.
“Being mammals ourselves, the animals featured in the series and the stories told about them are instantly relatable. It’s impossible not to admire a mother capuchin monkey who’s able to provide her baby with a drink in a dry, sun-baked forest or a chimpanzee father giving his family a lesson in finding honey buried underground,” said Roger Webb, executive producer. “This connection to us, makes Mammals an incredibly engaging and compelling piece of television – one that will also lead us to question our role in the lives of the wild mammals we share the planet with.”
