BBC Earth series Universe debuting Nov. 21


TORONTO — Blue Ant Media announced today Universe, a new five-part series from renowned British physicist and professor Brian Cox (above), will premiere in Canada on BBC Earth on Sunday, Nov. 21 at 10 p.m. ET/PT.

Over the course of the series, “Professor Brian Cox explores the dramatic story of the origin of the Universe from its formation 13.8 billion years ago to a glimpse into its future trillions of years from now. From watching the birth of a star in a stellar nursery, witnessing mayhem caused by colliding galaxies and experiencing the astounding power of supermassive black holes as it consumes an entire planet,” reads a press release.

Due to advances in our understanding of the Universe, this all-new series “is able to take audiences to places in the cosmos we didn’t even know existed just ten years ago and tell their story,” says the release.

“Using state-of-the-art animation, stunning CGI imagery, the latest scientific research and archival footage captured during scientific missions, Universe reveals awe-inspiring wonders in its history that defined Earth’s — and our own — destiny.”

Universe is a BBC Studios Science Unit production with NOVA and WGBH Boston for BBC and PBS, co-produced by Xigua Video and ByteDance in partnership with the UK’s Open University. BBC Studios is distributing the series internationally.
