Chennai,
September 7, 2019: Sony BBC
Earth, India’s premium infotainment channel, is all set to premiere the
mega-series, Serengeti, which promises drama and action in the wild. Shot
across the lush grasslands of Africa, this pioneering series follows the
interconnected stories of a cast of iconic savannah animals over one year and
premieres on September 9 at 9 PM. All 6 episodes, full of humour, intensity and
nail-biting tension will be available in English, Hindi, Tamil and Telugu, only
on Sony BBC Earth.
For
the first time, Sony BBC Earth in association with Dakshinachitra, Chennai’s
best heritage museum, held an exclusive screening of the first episode of the
highly anticipated series for less privileged children, on September 6. The
unique initiative was to extend Sony BBC Earth’s brand promise of ‘feel alive’
to the kids of Uthandi Government School and to offer them an experience like
never-before. The gathered kids got a chance to watch the first episode of
Serengeti, before anyone else in India and to take a tour of the culturally
rich, Dakshinachitra.
Narrated
by the award-winning British actor (of Star Wars fame) John Boyega, this series
is about love and loss, jealousy and rivalry, tragedy and triumph, as the lives
of these animals entangle and dramatically unfold in the heart of Africa.Using
ground-breaking filming techniques and an original music score to put you at
the heart of the action, Serengeti brings real-life animal drama to the screen
in an intimate and breath-taking detail.
Featuring
the most iconic and unique animal species from the rich grasslands of Africa,
Serengeti piqued the interest of the little minds and captured their
imagination. The kids were wowed by the larger than life, break-taking visuals
and the fast paced, intense drama and action. The episode was met with a resounding
applause from the audience, who got a sneak peek into Sony BBC Earth’s content
library for the first time ever.

Thyagarajan -Senior Education Coordinator - Dakshinachitra Museum “Students
thoroughly enjoyed the show. We’ve all seen stories of the African wildlife,
but SERENGETI shows such unique stories of animal families. It’s refreshing and
absolutely thrilling! I think it’s a great initiative taken by Sony BBC Earth
to give these students an opportunity to witness such breath-taking stories of
the natural world. There’s so much that they can learn about the natural world
from such stories. I believe it’s a show that everyone MUST watch!”
