More than a decade on from the first series, Frozen Planet II is returning to our screens, using new technology to\u00a0take viewers on a journey through some of earth\u2019s coldest and most remote icy lands, including the north and south poles.<\/p>\n

Four years in the making, the\u00a0Sir David Attenborough-narrated\u00a0series tells the stories of our frozen realms at a time when they are on the brink of destruction due to climate change\u00a0\u2013<\/b>\u00a0a phenomenon which\u00a0wasn\u2019t considered so clear-cut in 2011\u00a0\u2013\u00a0<\/b>as well as chronicling how the changes are impacting the wildlife.<\/p>\n

The filmmaker behind the season, Mark Brownlow, recently spoke to Radio Times magazine<\/a> about balancing \u201cthe gloomy to the glorious\u201d and making sure the series is reflective of current times.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have to tell the contemporary story of what\u2019s happening,\u201d he said. \u201cLong gone are the days when we could show you a paradise and forget about the issues \u2013 I think we\u2019d be laughed out of the room if we didn\u2019t nail climate change.\u201d<\/p>\n

So, when will Frozen Planet II be coming to BBC One and how can you watch it? Read on for everything you need to know.<\/p>\n

What is Frozen Planet II about?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Speaking to Radio Times magazine<\/strong>, Brownlow pointed out how the new series will bring environmental storytelling to the fore.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re taking the audience to Narnia, with what I hope is going to be the right mix of wonder, entertainment and education,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are a lot of new stories, breath-taking new drama, wonderful moments of humour, stunning landscapes, but underpinned with the message that these places are changing and changing faster than we ever imagined. We are capturing this fast-changing, dynamic world in its exquisite beauty but also telling the story of how these changes are impacting the wildlife.\u201d<\/p>\n
