It feels like a lifetime since Blue Planet 2 aired on our TV screens in 2017, but Sir David Attenborough fans can now sit tight knowing the nature expert is heading back to our screens for a new must-see BBC documentary.
The 92-year-old managed to get people of all ages hooked on Blue Planet and Planet Earth, and he's said to be coming back with a new series called Dynasties, which will be "even more intense and gripping" than his previous shows. We are so ready for this.
Though it was actually announced back in February, BBC Earth got the excitement rolling this week with a tweet saying: "BBC Earth brings you #Dynasties, narrated by Sir David Attenborough. Coming soon."
Executive producer Mike Gunton said that Dynasties is a "landmark" series that will have a tighter focus than the previous two shows.

Each episode will follow the lives of one of the five animals depicted on the poster - lions, hunting dogs, chimpanzees, tigers and emperor penguins - at the "most critical period in their lives".
A statement was released in February by the show's producers, which read: "The odds are stacked against them - our planet is changing at an extraordinary rate and the habitats these animals live in are under increasing pressure, not least from the impact of humanity itself."
From the team behind Life Story and Planet Earth 2, Dynasties is said to be "an intense portrayal of the lives of these animals as they unfold, day-by-day, hour-by-hour, where the tiniest incident may end up having a huge consequence on their future.
"Their chances of success depend on their own strength of character, their choices and on luck. But these animals do not operate alone - their success or failure will also hinge on how they work with, or against, their own families."
