Apple TV+ Unleashes “Prehistoric Planet: Ice Age” This Fall
If you thought dinosaurs had the final say in prehistoric drama, think again. Apple TV+ is taking us beyond the extinction event and deep into the frozen heart of Earth’s next wild chapter with “Prehistoric Planet: Ice Age.”
Narrated by Tom Hiddleston, scored by the legendary Hans Zimmer, and powered by the magic of BBC Studios’ Natural History Unit, this five-part event series premieres globally on November 26, 2025—just in time to turn your holiday week into a frozen adventure through time.
A Glacial Saga Millions Of Years In The Making
“Prehistoric Planet: Ice Age” picks up long after the dinosaurs bowed out, plunging us into a world ruled by megafauna—massive creatures like woolly mammoths, saber-toothed tigers, snow sloths, and even three-foot-tall dwarf elephants (yes, tiny elephants were a thing, and I’m already obsessed).
This era, known for its punishing climate swings and brutal survival challenges, is brought to life with cutting-edge visual effects by Framestore (“Gravity,” “The Golden Compass”) and the kind of rich storytelling you expect from the same folks who gave us “Planet Earth.”
From frozen tundras to grasslands thawing under the pressure of time, viewers will witness the rise, fall, and resilience of Ice Age legends.
Science Meets Cinematic Wonder
This isn’t your average documentary. Apple TV+ is once again blending real science with cinematic spectacle, turning fossil records into heart-pounding moments of survival and discovery.
The creators consulted with leading paleontologists to make sure every snow-dusted scene—from predator hunts to climatic shifts—is rooted in the latest research.
And of course, Tom Hiddleston’s voice?
That’s the icing on the glacier. He previously narrated the acclaimed “Earthsounds,” and his return here feels like the perfect pairing of velvet vocals and visual majesty.
Epic Music For An Epic Era
Let’s take a moment to appreciate the score.
Hans Zimmer, along with Anže Rozman and Kara Talve of Bleeding Fingers Music, are delivering a soundtrack worthy of Earth’s fiercest winter and fiercest creatures.
If you thought mammoths couldn’t be majestic and metal at the same time, wait until you hear this.
What You Can Watch Now
While we wait for “Ice Age” to arrive, both seasons of the original “Prehistoric Planet” series are streaming now on Apple TV+.
If you haven’t seen them yet, prepare to be stunned.
If you have? Well, go ahead and rewatch while you gear up for a fresh Ice Age binge.
