Sky Nature and Love Nature today announced the greenlight of Airborne (4 x 60’), a visually stunning series that celebrates the unique challenges and ultimate freedom of animals that use the air to survive and thrive. Produced by Humble Bee Films, the series gives viewers a true bird’s-eye view from airborne birds and animals as they catch air for the first time, snatch in-flight meals, navigate crowded skies and soar through the most challenging environments on the planet.
Airborne offers an astonishing and revelatory adventure into the wonderfully diverse world of creatures that fly, glide and leap through the air. The series follows an array of charismatic creatures through their trials and triumphs. From great soaring condors to leaping lemurs, from gliding squirrels to beautifully buzzing orchid bees - the series reveals unexpected and fascinating stories of animals who defy gravity and master the air around them in extraordinary ways.
The series takes the ultimate flight path, from perfect take-offs and long-haul flights to tricky landings. Each episode explores a different aspect of flight including:
- Catching Air shows how different species use air, from rookies to the masters of the skies.
- In-flight meals, explores how animals defy gravity to gather food on the ground, in the canopy and high in the air.
- Love in the air, a look at how animals use air to their advantage when finding and keeping a mate.
- Flight path, an examination of different navigation methods that involve power and precision, innate GPS and complicated routes through crowded skies.
Airborne is produced by Humble Bee Films for Sky Nature and Love Nature and will premiere on Sky Nature in the UK and Ireland, Italy and Germany and on Love Nature around the world. The series leverages Love Nature’s relationship with Blue Ant Studios’ international rights group, which oversees pre-sales and licensing opportunities for the new title outside of commissioning territories.
