30th January 2019 - StreamedTV

Netflix has struck a “multi-year” deal with James Honeyborne, creator and Executive Producer of the award-winning series BBC series Blue Planet II, to produce new nature and science series.

Honeyborne’s other work includes the BAFTA-winning Big Blue Live and the Emmy-nominated series Wild New Zealand, plus Africa.

He and partner Renee Godfrey, an anthropologist who has worked on Tribe and Human Planet, Enchanted Kingdom 3D, Wild Atlantic and Wild New Zealand, will produce their Netflix productions through their company Freeborne Media Ltd.

Lisa Nishimura, VP of Documentaries and Comedy at Netflix: “James has created some of the most captivating natural history series of our time, with breathtaking sweep and vision.

“I am thrilled that he will be working with us at Netflix, bringing his unique exploration of the wonders of the natural world to our viewers.”

Honeyborne commented: “Freeborne is excited to be working with Netflix and for the new creative opportunities that will arise from our partnership.

“Today, wildlife and wild places are facing unprecedented challenges. There is a pressing need to tell important, surprising and inspiring stories about our world.

“Working with Netflix means we can create game-changing documentaries that can reach and engage a huge global audience.”
