2019
Following the drama of the African savannah. A young hyena loses her mother in a terrifying attack by some rogue male lions and has to assume the leadership of her family.
As the Serengeti starts to dry out, competition hots up between the families of lions, cheetahs, baboons, elephants, ostriches and hyenas.
The incredible anticipation of the annual great migration is being felt by all of the Serengeti's families as they wait with desperation for it to arrive. The land continues to get hotter and hunger start to bite as food becomes ever more scarce.
The long-awaited arrival of the Great Migration brings opportunities and food in abundance but it also increases conflict as every one of the Serengeti’s families is put to the test.
The dry season is upon the animals of the Serengeti, the toughest time for some but a bonanza for others. The drought turns the waterhole into a death trap for the herds, but for the lions it’s a gift.
It's the end of an extraordinary year for the animals of the Serengeti. In the aftermath of a huge fire, which families made it through alive?

All our animal families make the most of the good times when a new oasis brings untold riches. But they face devastation when a towering inferno takes over. Will anyone survive?
A great fire leaves homes destroyed and families separated. Our animal characters must find new ways to survive in an unrecognisable and inhospitable landscape.
The drama now centres around the river where enchanting new characters, such as an adorable baby hippo, meet old favourites. Bonds of kinship are tested as adventures continue.
The search for a home brings tragedy and triumph as baby hippo Mafuta faces new dangers. Crocodile Magamba defends her hatchlings, and Duma the cheetah struggles to make friends.
As the land dries, everyone struggles to find water. The hippos get trapped in the shrinking lake, and Nalla the elephant finds a clever solution to quench everyone’s thirst.
As the animal families escape the drought, the land returns to its former beauty. New life is born, old rivalries are laid to rest and new alliances are forged.
