BBC Studios has announced that Hans Zimmer and Jacob Shea will compose the theme and score for the upcoming BBC Earth natural history series One Planet, Seven Worlds. The show is presented and executive produced by Sir David Attenborough and will reveal how each distinct continent has shaped the unique animal life found there. Each of the series’ seven episodes will transport viewers to a single continent and tell the story of its spectacular wildlife and iconic landscapes. Zimmer and Shea have previously composed music for BBC’s Planet Earth II and Blue Planet II (for Bleeding Fingers Music). One Planet, Seven Worlds will premiere later this year on BBC One in the UK and on BBC America in the U.S.
Zimmer’s other upcoming projects include Wonder Woman 1984, X-Men: Dark Phoenix, Top Gun: Maverick and Disney’s The Lion King remake. Shea has recently scored the German/Austrian Sky original series Pagan Peak (Der Pass), which just premiered last month.
