Apple TV+ has unveiled the first full-length trailer for its upcoming natural history event series Prehistoric Planet<\/a>, featuring narration from Sir David Attenborough.<\/p>\n

The series will debut on Monday 23rd May, with the five episodes released one per day for the remainder of that week, and it looks set to be a truly breathtaking watch.<\/p>\n

The trailer \u2013 which also includes a preview of Hans Zimmer\u2019s swelling original score \u2013 features some stunning footage created using state-of-the-art technology, as Attenborough explains: \u201cThere are many ways to describe life on this planet.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome creatures can be called magnificent, or monstrous, perhaps misunderstood. But only a few creatures who roam this Earth could be called all three.\u201d<\/p>

He continues: \u201cExplore the coastlines where giants roam, the deserts where danger rules, an ice world where survival is everything. Join us for a story you\u2019ve never heard on a scale you\u2019ve never witnessed.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

The trailer also gives a glimpse into some of the most astonishing insights from the series, including the fact that the Tyrannosaurus rex could swim \u2013 something which had previously been unknown.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Meanwhile, viewers can also see two species of Tyrannosaur that have never been seen on screen until now \u2013 the Qianzhousaurus, which was newly discovered in the last decade in Eastern China, and the Nanuqsaurus, <\/b>a small Tyrannosaur built for life in the polar north.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

And there are also accurate representations of a Velociraptor in more detail \u2013 you can check out all this and more by watching the trailer in full below.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
