David Attenborough Returns In The UK’s Highest Rating Series Of 2017

It has been 16 years since the original series and now the extraordinary sequel to Sir David Attenborough’s Blue Planet is coming to Nine and 9Now in high definition when Blue Planet II premieres on Saturday, February 17, at 7.00pm. 

The ocean is tempestuous and serene, exquisitely beautiful yet bleakly forbidding. Although it covers over 70 per cent of the Earth’s surface it is still the least known part of our planet. However, in recent years our knowledge of what exactly goes on beneath the waves has been transformed.

Blue Planet II uses breakthroughs in marine science and revolutionary technology that has modernised the way we explore new worlds under the sea and reveal the very latest discoveries. 

This breathtaking series gives viewers a first look at  fish that live almost exclusively on land; giant trevally that snatch seabirds out of mid-air; a fish that enlists the help of octopus to hunt smaller fish hiding among coral branches; and other incredible sea life. 

As well as being home to some of nature’s most spectacular events and fascinating creatures, the oceans are essential to all life, generating about half of the planet’s oxygen. Throughout Blue Planet II, viewers will explore the health of the oceans, which are under great threat from environmental stresses such as coral bleaching. Never has there been a more important time to understand what is happening in the seas that may hold the key to the future our planet and our rising population. 

Blue Planet II has been in production over four years, visiting 39 countries and filming across every continent and ocean. It took more than 6,000 hours of  underwater diving and filming to produce, everywhere from our familiar shores to the depths of the deepest seas, bringing us closer than ever before to the captivating world of  the oceans and their extraordinary creatures large and small.

Immerse yourself in the wonders of the big deep like never before when Blue Planet II premieres: Saturday, February 17, at 7.00pm on Nine and 9Now.
