Octopus are like aliens on earth; three hearts, blue blood, the ability to squeeze through a space the size of their eyeball. But there is so much more to these weird and wonderful animals. Intelligent enough to use tools or transform their bodies to mimic other animals, even communicate with different species. The Secrets of the Octopus are more extraordinary than we ever imagined.

premieres Sunday, 21st April at 9/8c on , narrated by Paul Rudd. Stream the next day on and .

Some sneak peeks of our upcoming feature film "Tiger", narrated by Priyanka Chopra Jonas. Arriving to on 22nd April, is the groundbreaking culmination of 1500 days of filming.

“For a top predator with little to fear, tigers are surprisingly secretive. We would sometimes go for weeks without a good sighting. I wouldn’t recommend filming tigers to anyone who needs to see their subject regularly to maintain morale! Our camera team did a brilliant job of keeping the faith— they had to convince themselves that a tiger could appear and do something incredible at any moment even if they hadn’t seen one for days.” - Mark Linfield, Director.

Narrated by Priyanka Chopra Jonas, 's “Tiger” lifts the veil on our planet’s most revered and charismatic animal, inviting viewers to journey alongside Ambar, a young tigress raising her cubs in the fabled forests of India. Curious, rambunctious and at times a bit clumsy, the cubs have a lot to learn from their savvy mother who will do all she can to keep them safe from pythons, bears and marauding male tigers.

arrives exclusively on this Earth Day, 22nd April!

In every ocean, just beyond our shores, lives an animal with characteristics we think of as “human” – intelligent, social, curious, gentle, and fierce. They build cities, use tools, and collaborate with other species to hunt. They have personalities – some are bold, while others shy. These animals can change their skin colour, texture, and body shape in a blink of an eye and see in wavelengths beyond our vision. Recent studies reveal octopuses’ consciousness, sophisticated decision-making, and unique personalities. On tropical reefs, in frigid waters, from the shoreline to the deep sea and everywhere in between, the octopus have made a home. Join us as we reveal “Secrets of the Octopus".

premieres Sunday, 21st April at 9/8c on , narrated by Paul Rudd. Stream the next day on Disney+ and Hulu.
