Leading independent distributor All3Media International has today announced two sales in Asia for Wildbear Entertainment’s Wild Winter, as the four-part natural history documentary travels to China and South Korea.

Both acquiring channels are renowned for their libraries of top quality natural history programming and have reputations for premium content in this field.

In China, the series premiered exclusively on the leading VOD outlet YOUKU (an Alibaba streaming platform), whilst in South Korea, the public broadcaster KBS will introduce the show to the country by March.

Produced by Wildbear Entertainment for France Télévisions free-to-air public television channel France 5, Wild Winter takes audiences through breathtaking winter landscapes and their amazing animal inhabitants including polar residents such as the emperor penguin, artic fox, polar bear and harp seal as well animals like the Australia’s common wombat, and Japan’s quirky snow monkeys, that also find themselves in cold climates.

Tony Ziran Tang, VP Asia at All3Media International, reflects on the series’ allure, remarking, “Wild Winter is a testament to the astonishing resilience and captivating survival stories of our planet’s diverse wildlife. With its timely release perfectly complementing late winter programming, I am thrilled to witness YOUKU and KBS embracing this series, promising to captivate and entertain audiences across China and South Korea.”

From the Polar North to the South Pole, landscapes that at first glance look uninhabitable are in fact home to many incredible animal species. Wild Winter examines the incredible adaptations, predatory behaviours, survival instincts, and breeding habits of the unique animals that call these spectacular locations home.

Each episode is themed, offering an insight into amazing evolutionary adaptations and distinctive physiological features; incredible stories of survival; cunning predation skills, including how many species avoid predators; and perhaps most importantly, the animal kingdom’s ultimate goal of passing on their genes – the cycle of life. Yet life is hard fought during winter, and every day is a battle against the odds for many of these unique animals.
