October Films and Blackmane Media are currently in production on a three-part series for Channel 4 which sees explorer and writer Levison Wood track down some of the most iconic and endangered animals on the planet. Levison Wood: Walking with… follows Levison to Borneo to encounter Orangutans; to Namibia to track down the last remaining Desert Lions; and to East Greenland to get as close as possible to Polar Bears. Travelling into some of the most remote and physically challenging environments on Earth, Levison enters their worlds as the locals do, to get as up close and personal as possible. Learning more about the unique lives of the animals and their environment in the company of indigenous guides and naturalists, he gets a better understanding of how they are surviving, against worsening odds caused by the increasing threat of human activity and climate change. Needless to say, we can't wait to share Lev's latest series, which has been a long time in the making after the impact of Covid on international production. TX dates to be announced soon.
