BBC Earth Travels Deeper into the Wild with the Canadian Broadcast Premieres of Animal Impossible and the second season of Spy in the Wild, narrated by Emmy and BAFTA Award winner, David Tennant

7 October 2020

Animal Impossible Premieres Wednesday, October 14 and Spy In The Wild, Season 2 Premieres Sunday, October 18

Animal Impossible presenters Tim Warwood and Adam Gendle (pictured), attempt a nerve-wracking swim with a great white shark to answer the burning question, are sharks mindless man eaters?

(Toronto, ON – October 7, 2020) –  This October, BBC Earth gets up close and personal with adorable, cuddly and deadly animals. First to premiere, the all-new original series Animal Impossible, following adventurous hosts Tim Warwood and Adam Gendle as they travel to great lengths to put incredible facts and myths about the animal kingdom to the test to prove if they are true. The second installment of Spy in the Wild, narrated by Emmy and BAFTA Award winner, David Tennant, sees nature’s spies go back undercover to capture never before seen animal behaviour, such as gorillas singing together during a meal and stingrays ‘vortex feeding’. The new season features over 50 ultra-realistic animatronic spy creatures across 30 different countries. From a lifesize animatronic spy polar bear to a bat, gorilla, king penguin and crocodile, each spy creature looks like the animals they film and behaves like them too. The Canadian broadcast premiere of Animal Impossible airs Wednesday, October 14 at 8 p.m. ET and Season 2 of Spy In The Wild airs Sunday, October 18 at 9 p.m. ET/PT, exclusively onBBC Earth in Canada.

Animal Impossible (10×60’; Original Series)
Wednesday, October 14 at 8 p.m. ET/PT
Is spider silk really stronger than steel? If you’re attacked by a bear, should you play dead? Do cats always land on their feet? Could a giant squid sink a ship? In a fresh take on natural history filmmaking, Tim Warwood and Adam Gendle set out on adventures to meet the animals, quiz experts and conduct audacious stunts –including a nerve-wracking swim with a great white shark –to get answers. But they find more than they expected, discovering a whole host of strange and remarkable truths about the animal kingdom.

Spy in the Wild, Season 2 (4×60’; Original Series)
Sunday, October 18 at 9 p.m. ET/PT
In its second season, Spy in the Wild will transport the audience deeper into the animal world than ever thought before. Narrated by Emmy and BAFTA Award winner, David Tennant, each episode explores a different climatic region of the world and is packed with its own menagerie of animatronic ‘Spy Creatures’ and extraordinary animal subjects. They discover how the animals have adapted their behaviour to not only cope, but often flourish, wherever they live. At times, their subjects occur in incredible numbers creating astonishing gatherings, found nowhere else on earth. From the hot and humid Tropics, to the freezing Poles, the seasonal North and the world’s most spectacular Islands.
