Blue Ant Media announced Tuesday it has renewed its partnership with Sky for the Sky Nature channel providing access to original Love Nature series and documentaries for audiences in the U.K., Italy and Germany.

The renewed deal allows Sky Nature to program Love Nature’s original content across Sky UK, Sky Italia and Sky Deutschland with bespoke agreements for each region, a Blue Ant Media press release said.

“Our extended partnership with Sky is testament to the quality and universal appeal of the original wildlife and nature content we produce through our Global Channels commissioning team,” said Carlyn Staudt, president of global channels and streaming at Blue Ant Media, in a statement. “We value Sky’s continued trust in helping support Sky Nature’s position as a premium natural history destination for millions of viewers in the UK, Germany and Italy.”

The partnership gives audiences access to a vast catalogue of original series, Blue Ant Media said. Depending on the territory, programming highlights include: Pride Rules (five episodes x 60 minutes), a captivating look at lion prides, their quest for survival and the daily struggles they face to protect their territory, shown through stunning cinematography that brings epic African vistas to life; Airborne (four x 60 minutes), showcasing beautifully shot, never-before-captured footage and incredible natural storytelling that immerses viewers in the incredible point of view of animals in flight; Deep Dive North America (six x 60 minutes), in which presenter Lizzie Daly takes viewers on an epic journey across North America’s most diverse and fascinating marine environments; and Aussie Snake Wranglers: Deadly Pursuit (six x 30 minutes), which follows a team of elite snake handlers in Australia as they answer distress calls from everyday Aussies whose homes have been invaded by these fearsome reptiles.
