Keeley Hawes is set to lend her voice to narrate Airborne, a four-part tentpole series from UK-based Humble Bee Films, for Love Nature and Sky Nature.
The hourlong series promises “an astonishing and revelatory adventure into the wonderfully diverse world of creatures that fly, glide and leap through the air.” It follows a diverse array of charismatic creatures through their trials and triumphs. From great soaring condors to leaping lemurs, and from gliding squirrels to beautifully buzzing orchid bees —the series reveals unexpected and fascinating stories of animals who defy gravity and master the air around them in extraordinary ways.
“We’re thrilled to have Keeley Hawes on board to add her voice to the beautiful cinematography in Airborne.” says Alison Barrat, SVP, Head of Content, Love Nature. “The production team have crafted a stunning series that features new perspectives of animals’ lives in the air. We’re delighted to bring this captivating series to audiences around the world ”
The series takes the ultimate flight path, from perfect take-offs and long-haul flights to tricky landings. Each episode explores a different aspect of flight including:
- Catching Air shows how different species use air, from rookies to the masters of the skies.
- In-flight meals, explores how animals defy gravity to gather food on the ground, in the canopy and high in the air.
- Love in the air, a look at how animals use air to their advantage when finding and keeping a mate.
- Flight path, an examination of different navigation methods that involve power and precision, innate GPS and complicated routes through crowded skies.
“We are so pleased to be working with Keeley Hawes. Her voice brings warmth and wonder to the incredible stories of our Airborne creatures, helping to create a truly uplifting series,” says Stephen Dunleavy, CEO Humble Bee Films.
Airborne, produced by Humble Bee Films, premieres December 29 on Sky Nature in the UK, Ireland and Italy and will roll out on Love Nature around the world.
