INNOVATIVE AND INTRIGUING NATURAL HISTORY SERIES "PREDATOR V PREY" SET TO PREMIERE ON BBC AMERICA AND AMC+ ON SATURDAY, APRIL 20

NEW YORK - March 20, 2024 - The fascinating all-new natural history series Predator v Prey is set to premiere on Saturday, April 20 at 8pm ET/PT on BBC AMERICA and AMC+. Narrated by actor Howard Charles (Whitstable Pearl, Top Boy) and using innovative VFX techniques, the series offers a forensic look at the hunts of the world's most formidable apex predators.

Predator v Prey follows the fortunes of the world's most formidable apex predators - including lions, cheetahs and crocodiles - as they pit themselves against fearsome opponents in the ultimate battle for survival. Focusing on their high-stake hunts and the multitude of factors that contribute to their success or failure, the series offers a forensic look at these predation events while exploring the many other challenges the animals face in the game of life. From the changing seasons to shared food sources, the significance of making a kill is brought into sharp focus as predator and prey come face to face in some of nature's most compelling showdowns.

Combining premium specialist archive footage and innovative new VFX techniques, each episode features a different species and reveals 'moment by moment' the predatory features that are essential to survival within their world as they take on their worthy adversaries.

To bring to life these predator-prey interactions, a new 3D-graphics game engine is used to freeze and manipulate key instants within these killer moments to reveal the art of the hunt and the secrets of the kill. Exploring hidden perspectives, biology and behavior, all based on the latest scientific research, the engine provides an immersive, analytical and comprehensive view of life as a top predator in the most dramatic of ways.

Predator v Prey reveals brand new perspectives and insights into the animal kingdom's most prolific and iconic hunts, giving the viewer a front row seat on what factors ultimately determine life or death.

Predator v Prey is produced by True to Nature for National Geographic in association with ITV Studios. It's executive produced by Wendy Darke and Sarah Peat for National Geographic with Adam Oldroyd serving as series producer.
