What happens

The Green Planet is a 2022 British nature documentary series on plants and their relationship with animals and the environment. It was a co-commission from the BBC and PBS and produced by the BBC Studios Natural History Unit in co-production with Open University, CCTV-9, Bilibili, ZDF, France Télévisions and NHK. It was narrated and presented by David Attenborough. Utilising time-lapse photography, drones and specially designed camera rigs called "Triffids", the series aimed to show plant movements over prolonged periods, but sped up into real time. The series first aired on BBC One on 9 January 2022, and consisted of five episodes. It was subsequently made available on demand on BBC iPlayer and was aired internationally on other networks. Filming took three years to complete, and took place in 27 countries. Producer Paul Williams hired engineer Chris Field to develop new filmmaking technology for the series based on a prototype of the "Triffid" camera system in a Kickstarter video. Original music was composed by Benji Merrison and Will Slater. A tie-in augmented reality experience in London and an online content initiative were launched to promote the series. The Green Planet was a ratings success in the United Kingdom, with its first episode drawing 5.4 million viewers. It also received positive reviews from critics, who noted its production quality, storytelling, and environmentalist themes. A Green Planet II sequel series is in development.
