Kingdom (2025)

Overview

Kingdom will dramatically chronicle the real-life sagas of four African animal families, in one of the most ambitious projects ever undertaken by the BBC Studios Natural History Unit. Filmed across five years in a single spectacular location, the lives and fates of our four families – leopards, hyenas, wild dogs and lions – are inextricably linked as they strive for a foothold in a remote and fertile river valley in Zambia. As well as the intense power struggles between these top predators, the series shows how a colourful supporting cast, from powerful elephant herds to vast flocks of crimson bee-eaters to troops of marauding baboons, impact our central characters in surprising and diverse ways.
