Planet Earth is coming back for a third season - Cosmopolitan.com

"Combining the awe and wonder of the original Planet Earth, the new science and discoveries of Blue Planet II and Planet Earth II, and the immersive character-led storytelling of Dynasties, the series will take the ‘Planet Earth’ experience to new heights."

The national treasure that is David Attenborough hasn't yet officially been confirmed for the series. At 92 years old, we wouldn't blame him for retiring. (But the same time, he better not because it just won't be the same without him.)

Also announced was the second series of Frozen Planet, which is due to be aired in 2021, 10 years on from the original season. This one will take us back to the Arctic and Antarctica, delving into a very icy natural world.

Thankfully, for the less patient among us, a David Attenborough documentary is coming to Netflix much sooner: Our Planet arrives on 5th April 2019. We, for one, can't wait.
