BBC Studios and South Korea’s leading national broadcaster, Korean Broadcasting System (KBS) announced the renewal of their long-term partnership with a multi-year content deal which will allow KBS exclusive access to the first windowing of blue-chip Natural History titles in South Korea. This includes Frozen Planet II, Dynasties II, and Planet Earth III.
This renewal, which marks the 23rd year of partnership between BBC Studios and KBS, also includes a first-look at other premium factual, across Science, Documentary, Arts, History and other unscripted content.
Frozen Planet II will take audiences back to the wilderness of the Arctic and Antarctica. Ten years on from the original Frozen Planet, this series tells the complete story of the entire frozen quarter of our planet that’s locked in ice and blanketed in snow. It is slated to broadcast in 2022
From Patagonia’s frozen Andes, to the plains of Zambia, to sprawling grasslands in the shadow of Mount Kilimanjaro, Dynasties II returns – more captivating and compelling than ever, providing fresh insights into the secret lives of some of the most charismatic animals on the planet. Dynasties II features surprising, dramatic, and heart-warming stories with iconic favourites, elephant and cheetah, as well as unearthing the stories of some unsung heroes of the animal kingdom, puma and hyena.
Planet Earth III will be the most ambitious Natural History landmark ever undertaken by the BBC. Combining the awe and wonder of the original Planet Earth, the new science and discoveries of Blue Planet II and Planet Earth II, and the immersive character-led storytelling of Dynasties, the series will take the Planet Earth experience to new heights.
KBS stated, “We’ve received positive feedback from the Korean viewers on the high-quality content distributed by BBC Studios and we look forward to the release of compelling high-quality dramas, Frozen Planet II and Dynasties II. Through this agreement, we hope that the 20-plus years of partnership between KBS, the leader of K(Korea)-content, and the BBC, with its mission to inform, educate and entertain audiences.”
Phil Hardman, SVP and General Manager for BBC Studios Asia said, “We have been long-time partners with KBS and are excited to kickstart the next chapter with KBS to win over the hearts of South Korean audiences with our bold, British content that informs, educates and entertains. Through this agreement, KBS audiences will see the most incredible upcoming Natural History, Science and a selection of many more premium British factual series.”
