If you haven’t watched the trailer for the new release of Blue Planet II, you must be living under a rock. The seven-part documentary series comes 16 years after its predecessor and is set to be released on the 29th October 2017. The man, the myth, and the legend Sir David Attenborough will narrate the series that takes us deep beneath the waves. As you can imagine 16 years on, the science and technology advances mean that we know so much more about the big blue than we did, allowing us all to join Attenborough, voyaging deeper than ever before.

Four years in the making, the series will be accompanied by music by Hanz Zimmer and Radiohead. Crews have been travelling all over the planet to capture spellbinding imagery and scenery that is sure to take people’s breath away every Sunday evening. The big blue is still the largest area of the world that has so much still to be discovered, and the new five-minute trailer showcases that. I watched the trailer and was left with goose bumps. If you haven’t already then make sure you watch 5 minutes that will make you speechless, unless you are David (obviously)! So, if you are as excited as me then get ready to take a big breath, dive and delve deeper into uncharted territory where some of Earth’s best-kept secrets hide.
