Singapore – HISTORY announced that the epic 12-hour TV event Mankind The Story of All of Us, is expected to premiere in the fourth quarter of this year. Already two years in the making, the series is now in production, filming in locations all over the world such as China, South Africa and Morocco.

The documentary is expected to be the most in-depth television series ever produced by HISTORY, and will be the first series in the history of the network to premiere internationally at the same time. The series will also be supported by a worldwide educational initiative.

Mankind will look at the history of the human race through the ages, but in a way that is highly ambitious with the scale of its cinematic vision. CGI technology and dramatic reconstructions of the most critical events in human history brought to life, as never seen before, examines what is unique about us to have made humans the dominant species on the planet, surviving against all odds.

In every episode, the path of Mankind’s progress will be unlocked through a set of mysterious keys. These will range from the first tools to the construction of the pyramids, to the birth of agriculture and the revolutions in military technology; through the Vikings landing in America and discovery of new worlds, culminating in the industrial revolution and the making of the modern world.
