You can put cliffhangers between each episode that will help and we hope will make people watch on. So we put cliffhangers between them and it works really well because there's a very single timeline of earth's journey around the sun. But with this one we wanted people to keep watching, like a binge watcher, like a drama. Also people watched certain programs, and maybe not others, because they loved jungles or the frozen and they didn't really like mountains. If you think about ‘Our Planet,’ the opening of season one is that you've got eight programs and people could pretty much watch them in any order. We were also very keen to put cliffhangers between episodes and nobody's ever done that in natural history before. So each episode effectively represents three months of that journey around the sun. So right from the word go, we thought, "Well, this is the story we want to tell." We have four episodes. As our planet journeys around the sun, which takes 365 days, you get different conditions at different times of the year. The planet tilts at 23 and a half degrees, and so different parts of the planet get different amounts of sun at different times of the year. It's not actually true for this one because we thought very hard about, how do we tell the story about migration and animal movement? Animal movement is essentially a response to seasonality, and seasonality is the result of our tilted planet. HC: That is certainly true for a number of natural history series. MF: Do you have an idea of what the narrative of the episodes will be before you begin shooting, or do you really find it in the editing room? 'Our Planet II' premieres June 14th on Netflix. So there, it’s a long time in the making.

So two and a half years of filming, and then it takes about six to eight months to put the series to together in an editing room and then do all the post-production. So we're very fortunate to have a very good pool of very experienced people. So one of the great requirements to get to where we got to is by having those ingredients and having expert expertise because these are very complicated programs to make in the sense that there's a lot of setting up and a lot of logistics, so you need specialists.
If you haven't got either of those two, you have to go for low hanging fruit, and people have seen that before. So these things happened, but you need time and money to make a big landmark series. We were filming the Locust Hopper swarms there, and about three months later or four months later, it became pretty much a no-go zone. We filmed in Ethiopia just before it became almost impossible. There are weather issues and all kinds of other issues from human challenges, like places that suddenly become extremely difficult to film in because of conflict. Then we had just over two and a half years of filming, and you need that kind of time period because things don't always work in the natural world. So there's about five or six months of that. So you have to have a lot of experience to understand where there's a story that seems good on paper is actually going to translate onto the big screen. Some stories are just good on paper, but logistically impossible or the reality of filming them wouldn't do justice to the story. You're looking for representative sequences to illustrate certain points, but you've got to be mindful of the fact that they've got to be fresh stories. The beginning, you have about five or six months of research working out what the narrative arc of the series is, what sequences you want to include. It's sort of three and a half years from start to finish, not much under four, we should say. HC: Yes, it's a long time in the making, as you might expect. MF: Can you take us behind the scenes and explain how a nature show like this is produced? Moviefone recently had the pleasure of speaking with producer Huw Cordey about ‘Our Planet II,’ what fans can expect, how the series is made, what they wanted to film but couldn’t, the gravitas of narrator Sir David Attenborough’s voice, and the series’ environmental message. 'Our Planet II,’ narrated by the legendary Sir David Attenborough, unravels the mysteries of how and why animals migrate to reveal some of the most dramatic and compelling stories in the natural world. The documentary series addresses issues of conservation while featuring these desperate animals in their respective home regions, and has been noted for its greater focus on humans' impact on the environment than traditional nature documentaries, centering around how climate change impacts all living creatures.
Premiering on Netflix beginning June 14th is the second season of the popular nature documentary series ‘Our Planet,’ entitled ‘Our Planet II,’ which is narrated by Sir David Attenborough.
