PREHISTORIC PLANET: ICE AGE

[HD-man]

The teased Glytodont makes me excited to at least see some South American weirdos!

Me too, especially terror birds (EDIT: Which I just remembered didn't make it to the Ice Age, damn )! On a related note, I wish we knew more about their ecology/behavior☹️Were they more like giant hypercarnivorous seriemas or giant cursorial birds of prey? Personally, I prefer the latter:

I'm pumped!! Too bad David Attenborough isn't returning though!

MY WOOLLY RHINOS!!!!

I really hope we get to see Australia

Are you sure? If so, then who's narrating?

I think it's Tom Hiddleston.

Me too. I really hope we see some of the lesser-seen southern animals during this period. Absolute top of my list of species is Quinkana, which should have been around in Australia 10,000 years ago when this is likely set. Any weird ice age croc would dofor me, though!

Im totally with you!
Australia was the last place during ice age you wont believe reptiles ruled the land.
Specially with the long legged quinkana, the massive megalania and the wonambi.
This would break the only mammals place.
Also I dont know if you posted, but Framestore is behind the VFX. The same VFX house who did Walking with saga. Also they have been behind the Prehistoric Planet lightroom expo.
And about you last post, yes its confirmed Loki will narrate it

My crappy day just got better! I hope prehistoric planet never ends

I am stoked for this! I hope to see other eras featured as well, if this continues (I hope it does!).

I know the Pleistocene is the first epoch of the Quaternary and that is when modern humans arose (as in the ice ages), but the beginning Pleistocene is actually fairly different. I would actually like a Miocene documentary, or two actually, that explores the American "cat gap"; one during the gap and another after. And the Oligocene is always good for the rise of the proboscideans though I haven't seen anything along those lines. A good WWB-style look at the Hyeanadonta in Africa during the Oligocene or Early Miocene would be appreciated as well. Can anyone say Simbakubwa?

This is peak...But pls do the Jurassic and Triassic I beg you

[Takkar]

I really hope we get to see Australia

My body is ready!

Sadly Attenborough isn't narrating but he's so old he's probably only focusing on conservation now

[AcryAllo]

Happy about the spinoff happening at all, but damn, I sure hope they don't spend too much time in Bore-ope and North Lamerica...  The Pleistocene (/Quarternary?) has a lot of nice stuff to offer, but lots of the most popular stuff is just... Incredibly boring to me

He's still working, 'Parenthood' is a new attenborough doc coming out on the 3rd

[Pliosaurking]

I'm very excited to see this! It's too bad really is too bad Attenborough isn't returning, I'll say. I too would like to see other periods covered in the future.

[Dynomikegojira]

I wonder how they'll approach humans if at all

[Stegotyranno420]

I know and agree the main focus is the animals. duh lol of course i want to see the various beasts of the world.
But if this is 10,000 bc, this would be the transition area between Paleolithic and Mesolithic? It would be amazing to see the human cultures explored too, not just lumped as "cro-magnons". Magdalenians/Proto-WHG, Caucasus Hunter Gatherers, Natufians, WSHG/EHG. because this would also explore our own ancestors. And to see rhe cultures be depicted with accuracy, not just caricatures.

I'd prefer they avoided humans altogether. At some point it becomes less of a paleontology series and more of an anthropology one. I really dislike it when they cross that barrier.

I agree on it can be too much at once.
May you expand why exactly you do not like it though?

[Noideaforaname]

I definitely welcome a break from dinosaurs (as much as I'd love infinite seasons dedicated to dinosaurs). I do hope it applies that speculative creativity that made the series so captivating in the first place. Dunno how far you could push recent mammals, but at the very least they could do some Hodari Nundu-esque "these interactions MUST have happened" scenarios.
