Netflix’s latest documentary series brings together two entertainment powerhouses for a prehistoric adventure.
“The Dinosaurs,” premiering March 6, features executive producer Steven Spielberg and narrator Morgan Freeman in what the streaming service calls a “groundbreaking documentary series.” The combination pairs Spielberg’s filmmaking legacy with Freeman’s iconic voice for an exploration of dinosaur history.
The series is produced by Amblin Entertainment, Spielberg’s production company, alongside the award-winning team behind “Our Planet,” the acclaimed nature documentary series. This collaboration suggests a high production value approach to prehistoric storytelling.
Freeman, an Academy Award winner, will guide viewers through the narrative spanning hundreds of millions of years. The series promises to chronicle both the rise and fall of dinosaurs in what Netflix describes as “an epic journey into a lost world.”
The involvement of the “Our Planet” team indicates viewers can expect the same level of visual spectacle and scientific rigor that characterized that previous nature documentary series.
“The Dinosaurs” will stream exclusively on Netflix starting March 6, available to subscribers worldwide.
What to watch next:
- Release of additional footage or behind-the-scenes content
- Reviews and ratings when the series launches March 6
- Potential awards season consideration for documentary categories
