Surviving Earth: How Life Keeps Rebounding Through Catastrophe
NBC's Surviving Earth, from Walking with Dinosaurs creator Tim Haines, uses CGI and expert input to chronicle eight mass extinctions over 450 million years, focusing on how life repeatedly survived and rebounded despite volcanic eruptions, floods, and droughts; the series aims to connect viewers to ancient creatures without anthropomorphizing them, while linking today’s climate crisis to past upheavals and urging action to keep Earth inhabitable.
