BBC unveils first look at iconic show’s return after 25 years The BBC is set to revive its iconic series Walking with Dinosaurs with a new six-part series, 25 years after its original premiere in 1999.
The series also gave birth to a new genre of documentaries that recreate life from the distant past, such as Walking With Cavemen, Walking With Sea Monsters and Walking With Monsters.
Jack Bootle, the BBC's Head of Commissioning for Specialist Factual, stated: "A new generation of viewers is about to discover and fall in love with Walking with Dinosaurs.".
The 1999 series Walking With Dinosaurs brought extinct species to life with CGI and animatronics, earning numerous awards, including two BAFTAs and three Emmys.
The series will be supported by the latest scientific research and will combine factual content with dramatic storytelling to appeal to both dinosaur enthusiasts and general audiences.
