Emmy nominee Tom Hiddleston promises we’ll see the Ice Age as we’ve never seen it before in Apple TV’s Prehistoric Planet: Ice Age. “Journey back a million years to the Ice Age. From the big freeze to the great thaw, life finds a way,” says Hiddleston, narrator of the latest chapter of the natural history series.
Executive produced by Jon Favreau and Mike Gunton, Prehistoric Planet: Ice Age will premiere on November 26, 2025. BBC Studios Natural History Unit produced the series, and Hans Zimmer, Anže Rozman, and Kara Talve for Bleeding Fingers Music wrote the original score.
Apple TV (which no longer goes by Apple TV+) offers this description of what you’re seeing in the trailer and can expect from the new chapter:
“The new trailer takes viewers into the Pleistocene era, millions of years after the extinction of the dinosaurs, as it has never been seen before. It features strange cycles of hot and cold that create shifting landscapes and a wide variety of mammals with complex behaviors, many resembling animals alive today, fighting to survive. Fans get their first look at clashes between woolly rhinos and saber-toothed cats, based on scientific knowledge gained from fur, soft tissues, and stomach contents preserved in permafrost and only recently discovered.
Alongside the era’s most iconic animals, like woolly mammoths and Dire wolves, viewers will explore five new astonishing habitats to encounter many incredible creatures that adapted to this strange new world, including the Columbian mammoth, a warm-weather relative of the woolly mammoth with curved tusks over 16 feet wide and sparse hair (Mammuthus columbi); 14-foot-tall bears, the largest to ever exist (Arctotherium angustidens); armadillos bigger than cars (Doedicurus clavicaudatus); and tiny elephant relatives (Stegodon sumbaensis) preyed upon by enormous giant storks (Leptoptilos robustus).
Reconstructed with the latest scientific knowledge, Prehistoric Planet: Ice Age combines current science with cinematic visuals to showcase the intelligence and complex social behaviors of the Pleistocene’s iconic species. This season will explore vast tundras, deserts, expanding grasslands, and melting permafrost as these creatures struggle for survival amid extreme climates, the beginning of The Big Freeze, and eventually, The Big Melt.”
