Apple has ordered a 12-part series dubbed Earthsound from British production company Offspring Films for its Apple TV+ streaming service, reports Deadline. The article says the half-hour series uses “audio technology and cinematic 360 sound design to reveal the unexpected, unfamiliar and untold natural stories on every continent of the planet.”
Earthsound will be exec produced by Offspring Film’s founder and creative director Alex Williamson and with Sam Hodgson as series producer. Justin Anderson (Planet Earth II), Joe Stevens (Blue Planet II) and Tom Payne (Big Blue: Live) will serve as producers for Offspring Films.
