Get ready to travel once again to the Serengeti in Africa. Season two of the wild animal series is coming soon to the Discovery Channel. New episodes, narrated by Lupita Nyong’o, will arrive next month.
Discovery Channel revealed more about the new season in a press release.
“This summer, Discovery journeys back to the vast, nearly untouched plains of Tanzania revisiting some of our favorite faces and meeting new ones along the way in SERENGETI II. The ground-breaking series highlights the majestic animals who call the Serengeti their home and their day-to-day lives living together. Created and produced by Emmy®-winner Simon Fuller (American Idol, So You Think You Can Dance) and directed and produced by Emmy®-winning wildlife filmmaker John Downer (“Penguin: Spy in The Huddle”), the continuation of the six-part series gives unrivaled access to one of the most pristine and unspoiled corners of Africa. Featuring a lush original score and narrated by Academy Award®-winning and Emmy® nominated actress Lupita Nyong’o, the revolutionary series follows the heartwarming stories of a cast of African wildlife including lions, zebras, baboons and cheetahs over the course of a year, showcasing the dramatic moments that make each day of survival on the Serengeti a feat.
The upcoming season premieres on Sunday, July 18 (episode 1 at 8pm ET/PT and episode 2 at 9:00pm ET/PT). All six episodes will be available on discovery+ on July 18th. Viewers can join the conversation on social media by using #SerengetiII and following Discovery on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and Twitter for the latest updates.
It is the following year, and many of our loveable familiar faces are back – Kali, Sefu, Nalla, Tembo, Bakari and Shani – are living their lives in their beautiful world. And as the world turns, so does the circle of life as we are introduced to Aiysha, daughter of season 1’s KiKay and her cubs along with Shani’s stallion Punda, the leader and protector of the family and father to all of the babies.
Fuller and Downer continue their collaboration on the second season of SERENGETI and have welcomed the entire team back including composer Will Gregory and serene storyteller Lupita Nyong’o. Their work captures the experience of Africa’s unimaginable beauty with its equally unforgiving brutality, highlighting daily challenges of life on the Serengeti.
SERENGETI is made by XIX Entertainment and John Downer Productions. It was commissioned for the BBC by Jack Bootle, Lead Commissioning Editor. BBC Studios is distributed globally.”
What do you think? Do you plan to watch Serengeti season two to on the Discovery Channel? Did you tune in for the first season?
You know, Come to think about it, I don’t think it’s worth paying for because the first season fight scene was disappointing. It didn’t show or tell us anything
I think it’s a pretty low blow leaving viewers suspended and then making us pay to see how everything turns out. Shame on you!!
You can sign up for the 7 day free trial and watch the rest of the episodes, then cancel and not be billed for it…..for those complaining it’s not on regular cable
I think it is a great show for the whole family. It’s full of fun facts and reality of nature. We watched all of season one, and the episode played on Discovery for Serengeti II. Only thing is we are heart broken we can’t watch the full season, because it is only available on Discovery+. I am sure we are not the only family that feels this way. I think it should be available on the Discovery channel too. This just makes Discover seem like all they care about the money. Not their watchers at all
I look forward to watching serengeti, the tv shows are so stupid and raunchy these days, it’s nice to be able to watch something wholesome without cussing.
Where are the rest of the episodes? Looks like they might only be on discovery plus. If discovery did this on purpose and will not allow the rest to air on regular discovery Channel, that would be a very dirty move. I’m hoping not!
I know right, me and my family want to be able to watch it as well. Everything I have seen says it is only available on Discovery +. So disappointed So if you have more money, you can watch it.
It is MAGNIFICENT!! The theme music alone will bring tears to your eyes, and make you understand how our world SHOULD look. Wildlife with sweeping Plaines, and vegetation!! Thank you for taking us on a journey into this untouched beauty!!
Glad at least you are getting to watch. Most of us on the other hand are not getting too Thanks to it only being available on Discovery +.
I am only seeing episodes 1 and 2 of season 2. How can I watch the rest
Only on Discovery +
Oh yes, loved season one so season two is a no brainer, just waiting for the rest of the episodes to air on discovery channel, anyone know when that will happen
If you find out,Please let me know
We loved season I, and recorded on the 18th. There are no more episodes scheduled for season II, unless they are not scheduled yet. If it’s cancelled, will be so disappointed
Not canceled, but you have to buy Discovery +, to keep watching it.
Most definitely I will be watching!!! Serengeti is the best Africa show on TV, please keep it on and don’t cancel!!!!!
Not canceled, but only available if you buy Discovery +
LOVE IT!!! : )
So happy Serengeti is back! Watched tonight and loved it! So beautiful and amazing to see the animals again and continue their story.
