Apple TV debuts first look at "Prehistoric Planet: Ice Age," featuring the playful snow sloths of the Pleistocene

The new five-part natural history event series, narrated by Tom Hiddleston, premieres globally November 26

Apple TV today released a first-look clip from the highly anticipated new season of the award-winning natural history series "Prehistoric Planet: Ice Age," executive produced by Jon Favreau and Mike Gunton, and produced by BBC Studios Natural History Unit, the team behind "Planet Earth." Narrated by Golden Globe and Olivier Award winner Tom Hiddleston ("Earthsounds"), with an original score by Hans Zimmer, Anže Rozman, and Kara Talve for Bleeding Fingers Music, the five-part series premieres globally on Apple TV on November 26.

"Prehistoric Planet: Ice Age" takes viewers millions of years beyond the extinction of the dinosaurs into a world shaped by ice, survival, and the emergence of a new group of giants - the iconic megafauna. The newly released clip provides a first look at one of the Ice Age's most surprising and charming creatures: a snow sloth (Megalonyx jeffersonii), a remarkable, barely-known animal perfectly suited to life in a frozen environment. Unlike its modern cousins, this Ice Age relative could climb rocky slopes with ease, using powerful limbs and massive claws to reach sparse vegetation. During this period, sloths thrived in a wide variety of forms, from giant ground-dwellers to smaller, tree-dwelling species. Their adaptability allowed them to flourish across many habitats during the Ice Age. In this playful footage, the snow sloths tumble and slide in the snow - a joyful, unexpected glimpse into life during one of Earth's coldest ages.

Reconstructed through the latest scientific understanding, Prehistoric Planet: Ice Age combines the latest science with cinematic visuals to reveal the intelligence and intricate social behavior of the Pleistocene's most iconic species. From woolly mammoths and saber-toothed cats to dwarf relatives of elephants and carnivorous kangaroos, each episode explores how life across the planet adapted to survive amid dramatic climate shifts and transformation.

The series is produced by the world-renowned team at BBC Studios Natural History Unit, with photorealistic visual effects by Framestore ("Gravity," "The Golden Compass"). The series features a theme by Hans Zimmer, with an original score by Zimmer, Rozman and Talve for Bleeding Fingers Music.

"Prehistoric Planet: Ice Age" continues the storytelling journey of the acclaimed Apple TV natural history series "Prehistoric Planet," which transported audiences 66 million years into the past to witness the age of dinosaurs across two celebrated seasons. Blending cinematic storytelling with photorealistic visual effects, the series brings ancient worlds to life, offering a firsthand look at some of the most extraordinary creatures ever to walk the Earth. The complete first two seasons of "Prehistoric Planet" are now streaming globally on Apple TV.
