New York, NY - April 15, 2020 - Celebrating the 50th anniversary of Earth Day in the United States, BBC AMERICA will air a 24-hours per day, four-day event showcasing the very best nature programming television has to offer.

"Now, more than ever, many of us have come to appreciate the extraordinary beauty and deep benefits of the natural world," said Courtney Thomasma, Executive Director of BBC AMERICA. "So at a time when we're all staying at home, we wanted to give viewers a chance to escape into the wonders of nature as we celebrate the 50th Anniversay of Earth Day, with landmark favorites from BBC Studios and brand new documentary specials."

The Earth Day Celebration line-up includes:

· Marathon of the original Planet Earth series - Beginning Monday, April 20th at 1pm/12c and ending Tuesday, April 21st at 11am/10c

Filmed over four years across 64 different countries, Emmy(R) winner Sir David Attenborough presents a documentary series exploring how animals meet the challenges of surviving in the most iconic habitats on Earth.

· Blue Planet II Marathon - Beginning Tuesday, April 21st at 3pm/2c

BBC AMERICA's Blue Planet II takes viewers on a revelatory and magical journey into the mesmerizing world of our oceans - the most undiscovered place on our planet. Our oceans are by turn tempestuous and serene, exquisitely beautiful and bleakly forbidding. They cover 70% of the Earth's surface and hold 97% of all the water in the world. There is more life in the deep sea than anywhere else on Earth. It is said we know more about the surface of Mars than the depths of our own planet. Our final frontier is the deep ocean - Earth's "inner space." Sir David Attenborough's work on this series earned him his first Emmy(R) Award for Outstanding Narrator.
