The project is considered a spiritual successor to the 2023 series Life on Our Planet, continuing the sweeping storytelling about Earth’s distant past.
The show debuted on Netflix on March 6, 2026, and it’s already making a big impression with critics. In fact, it currently holds a perfect score on Rotten Tomatoes. Freeman’s narration aside, reviewers have been particularly impressed by the show’s immersive visuals.
“The visuals and sound design are outstanding, one of the best nature documentaries in years. Viscerally, vividly real,” one critic wrote. Another reviewer highlighted the show’s appeal for viewers who are simply fascinated by dinosaurs. “For the dino-curious, Netflix’s new series is the multimillion-year story of the rise and fall of these Earth giants,” they shared.
