We’re excited to announce Amol Goes to the Ganges (w/t), a new one-hour documentary for BBC1 and iPlayer that follows journalist and presenter Amol Rajan at the biggest religious gathering on Earth – the Maha Kumbh Mela Festival in Northern India.

The festival, which takes place every 12 years, is the largest in human history due to a special alignment of the planets in the solar system, which last occurred 144 years ago. Amol joins over 500 million pilgrims from all over the globe who come together for this once in a lifetime event.

Huge thanks to our Indian fixers, Bright Tiger Films, for all their assistance in making this show possible.

We are overjoyed that the groundbreaking work of the Queens’ team has been recognised with an IDA Documentary Award nomination for Best Episodic Series. 🙏

Queens fulfilled our ambition to deliver something accessible, relatable, entertaining, and unapologetically dramatic, enticing a younger and more diverse audience to the genre. While new science underpins every sequence, this is not straight specialist factual. These storylines make dramas like Succession look tame.

Queens is now streaming on Disney+.
