"To see, and hear, the natural world in such extraordinary, intimate detail is utterly thrilling. It inspires wonder and awe.” - Tom Hiddleston, narrator

“I loved narrating ‘Earthsounds,’” Hiddleston shares. “Offspring Films and Apple TV+ have created something totally unique. To see, and hear, the natural world in such extraordinary, intimate detail is utterly thrilling. It inspires wonder and awe.”

“Earthsounds” travels to spectacular habitats, including the Queensland rainforest, the Antarctic ice shelf, the Namibian dunes, tropical coral reefs and more. Discoveries and rarely heard recordings from the series include snow leopards singing love songs, the intimate chatter of ostrich chicks from inside their eggs, musical spiders, walrus’s underwater courtship calls and more. But it’s not just animals that make unusual noises. The series also captures the mesmerizing secret sounds of our planet, including the hum of deserts, drinking trees and the mysterious buzz of the northern lights.

“Earthsounds” is produced by the award-winning team at Offspring Films and executive produced by Alex Williamson and Isla Robertson. Sam Hodgson is the series producer, and the series director is Tom Payne. “Earthsounds” is the second collaboration between Offspring Films and Apple TV+, following four-time BAFTA Award-nominated “Earth At Night In Color.”
