Airborne, a new four-part wildlife documentary that delves into the extraordinary lives of animals that fly, glide, or leap, will be narrated by award-nominated actress Keeley Hawes. Humble Bee Films’ Love Nature and Sky Nature series will premiere on December 22 in the United Kingdom, Ireland, and Italy, followed by a global release.
The hour-long episodes provide a comprehensive look at the many adaptations of airborne species. From condors’ soaring flights to lemurs’ acrobatic leaps, the program also features gliding squirrels and orchid bees with delicate movements. Each episode promises to reveal new details about how these animals survive in the skies.
Stephen Dunleavy, CEO of Humble Bee Films, lauded Hawes’ engagement, adding, “We are delighted to collaborate with Keeley Hawes. Her voice lends warmth and wonder to the fascinating story of these flying creatures, making the series a more uplifting experience.”
Senior Vice President of Content at Love Nature, Alison Barrat, highlighted the documentary’s originality. “The production crew has created a visually gorgeous series that provides new insights into the lives of animals in the air. We’re thrilled to present this incredible series to audiences worldwide.”
Hawes, a three-time BAFTA nominee known for her celebrated appearances in Bodyguard and Line of Duty, is expanding her artistic palette with a new project. Her presence comes after recent appearances in Scoop and Orphan Black: Echoes.
The series is collaborative, with executive producers Charlotte Crosse and Stephen Dunleavy of Humble Bee Films, Kathryn Taylor and Gilberte Phanor of Sky Nature, and James Manfull of Love Nature. Blue Ant Studios handles the program’s pre-sales and licensing.
Airborne promises to be more than simply another wildlife documentary. It seeks to take viewers on an uplifting tour through the world of airborne species, highlighting their incredible survival techniques and adaptations. The series aims to provide amusement and a better understanding of some of nature’s most amazing creatures.
