Streaming platform owned by Discovery Inc. Discovery+ has greenlit a new series titled ‘The Mating Game’ narrated by David Attenborough, that hails from the producers behind ‘A Perfect Planet’.
The series is filmed in 22 countries spanning six continents, which will put the spotlight on 80 unique species as it focuses on how they pursue a mate, from the beginning of the courtship to how they overcome enormous obstacles in the race to win a partner.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the show will visit such locales as the grasslands, the ocean, and the jungles.
Discovery+ says that among the firsts captured on camera are the courtship rituals of the great argus pheasant, a bird renowned among naturalists but whose courtship has never been filmed in the wild due to its extremely reclusive nature.
‘The Mating Game’ is produced for BBC, Discovery and Discovery+ by Silverback Films in co-production with NHK, Bilibili and France Télévisions. For Silverback, Jeff Wilson is a series producer and Keith Scholey is an executive producer. For Discovery and Discovery+, Howard Swartz is executive producer. BBC Studios is distributing internationally.
The five-part series is set to debut on Sunday, November 21.
