Discovery en Español travels to the vast, nearly untouched plains of Tanzania in SERENGUETI, the new innovative series highlighting the majestic animals and their day-to-day lives living together.
Created and produced by Emmy®-winner Simon Fuller, and directed and produced by Emmy®-winning wildlife filmmaker John Downer, the six-part series gives unrivaled access to one of the most pristine and unspoiled corners of Africa. Featuring a lush original score, the groundbreaking production follows the heartwarming stories of a cast of African wildlife over the course of a year, showcasing the dramatic moments that make each day of survival on the Serengeti a feat.
SERENGUETI premieres on Sunday, August 4 at 8pm E/P on Discovery en Español with new episodes airing subsequent Sundays. The series will also premiere in English on Discovery Channel.
Soon the season of plenty will begin to fade and food will be harder to come by, putting the animals of the Serengeti to the ultimate test. With new arrivals and unexpected problems, old foes resurfacing and dangerous encounters at nearly every turn, the Serengeti will demand courage from all who call it home.
In SERENGUETI the world’s most captivating animals try to survive in the beautiful, demanding lands of Northern Africa, stopping at nothing to protect their offspring and prove their worthiness to their tribe.
Collaborating for the first time, Fuller and Downer worked together on SERENGUETI for several years. Using a photographic and highly stylistic approach, their team employed innovative filming techniques in some of Africa’s most treasured regions, painting the ultimate portrait of survival in this region. Set to the backdrop of original music by Will Gregory with vocals by artists such as Lola Lennox, this television experience combines Africa’s unimaginable beauty with its equally unforgiving brutality, highlighting daily challenges of life on the Serengeti.
