OUR UNIVERSE

OUR UNIVERSE NARRATED BY MORGAN FREEMAN | BBC STUDIOS PRODUCTION FOR NETFLIX

COMPOSERS: ANNE NIKITIN AND JESSICA JONES

Our Universe follows a different iconic animal in every film - a family of brown bears, a lone sea turtle on the Great Barrier Reef, a herd of elephants in the Okavango Delta, a cheetah mother on the Serengeti, king penguins in the Southern Ocean and a troop of chimpanzees in Central Africa. But as each natural history story unfolds it reveals, at its heart, a grander cosmic tale of how everything came to be. Combining the compelling, emotional narrative of natural history with huge, cosmic events across space and time and the personal stories of the world’s leading scientists, these are magical, modern ‘Just So’ stories that elegantly connect all life on Earth to the Universe.

This extraordinary six-part series is a BBC Studios Production for Netflix with BAFTA-winning Mike Davis at the helm as showrunner, with Andrew Cohen executive producing, Naomi Austin and Stephen Cooter directing.

Score Supervision by Amanda Street, Orchestrations & Conducting by Tom Kelly, with Composer Assistant Tom Kinsella and music preparation by Matt Smith.

The Score is performed by the BBC Concert Orchestra at BBC Maida Vale Studios with vocals performed by the London Bulgarian Choir with Soloist and Leader Dessilava Stefanova. Additional players: Adam Double (Guitar & Bass), Nikolaji Bjerre (Drums), Sandro Friedrich-Northrop (Pan Flute) and Tom Kelly (Piano)..
