BBC Draws Inspiration From ‘1917’, ‘The Last Dance’ & AI For Next Generation Of Natural History Shows
The BBC's latest natural history shows feature Jane Goodall, AI and drones, while David Attenborough has been discussed by exec Sreya Biswas.
In a saturated market hit by rising costs, natural history boss Sreya Biswas told Deadline she is focused on telling dramatic narratives and commissioning binge-able fare that takes advantage of top-level advancements in technology, including AI. Co-produced with long-time U.S. collaborator PBS, Biswas branded Matriarch “The Last Dance for chimps,” referring to the hit Netflix doc series that charted Michael Jordan’s time with the Chicago Bulls. Using Spy Creatures camera tech and sophisticated AI computer learning techniques, the show examines calls and facial expressions that monkeys make in order to understand their thoughts, feelings and problem-solving abilities.
