The new BBC documentary "Mammals," presented by David Attenborough, will premiere on Saturday, July 13, on BBC America and AMC+.

From the high skies to the depths of the oceans, Sir David Attenborough is back behind the camera and mic to go long on the planet’s mammals. Across six episodes, the renowned naturalist and three-time Emmy will cover the history and evolution of the animal group from the end of the Cretaceous Period to the present day, uncovering and revealing the secrets to their success as they’ve conquered the Earth.

“Mammals” premieres on Saturday, July 13 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on BBC America and will be available to watch on AMC+ the same day. A new episode will be available every Saturday through Aug. 17, plus a behind-the-scenes making-of episode on Aug. 24. You can watch with 7-Day Free Trial of Philo.

How to Watch “Mammals”

About “Mammals”

Made by BBC Studios Natural History Unit and co-produced by BBC America, “Mammals” starts at the very beginning (or actually, the end of the Cretaceous Period, approximately 66 million years ago) as dinosaurs’ reign came to an end and mammals were free to move more freely around the planet.

Across six hour-long episodes and a behind-the-scenes special, Attenborough will take viewers through the strategies, behaviors, and traits behind the group’s success while celebrating “the amazing intelligence that enables mammals to learn, remember, problem-solve, parent, and cooperate.” Each episode of the docuseries, which comes more than two decades after Attenborough’s “The Life of Mammals,” will focus on a different major planetary environment, from frozen wildernesses to the depths of the jungle.

New episodes of “Mammals” will be available to watch on Saturdays at 8 p.m. ET through Aug. 17. On Aug. 24, BBC America and AMC+ will also release “The Making Of Mammals,” a behind-the-scenes episode with the production team of the series.

Why Is AMC+ the Best Way to Watch “Mammals”?

Because BBC America is co-owned by AMC Networks, you’ll be able to watch “Mammals” on both the cable channel and on AMC+ on the same day. We recommend signing up for the streaming service, which has a seven-day free trial ahead of two tier options: Ad-Supported for $4.99 per month and Ad-Free for $8.99 per month. If you are already a subscribing Prime Video customer, AMC+ is also available as an add-on channel.
