The trailer has dropped for a new Sir David Attenborough nature series set 66 million years in the past.

The series called Prehistoric Planet looks at our world during the time of the dinosaurs.

Produced by ´óÏó´«Ã½ Studios and Jon Favreau (creator of Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Happy Hogan in the Spider-Man movies), the five-part series will air on Apple TV in May.

It follows different aspects of dinosaurs' time on earth, such as "eye-opening parenting techniques of the T. rex, to exploring the mysterious depths of the oceans and the deadly dangers in the sky".

Although Sir David Attenborough has been on TV for many years, the time of the dinosaurs is a bit too far back, even for him!

So, the new series uses the latest technology to bring the animals - extinct for millions of years - back to life, recreating them using the latest computer graphics.

Sir David will narrate each episode, inspired by the most recent scientific discoveries, with many dinosaurs being shown with feathers.

The first perfectly preserved fossils of feathered dinosaurs were found in China 20 years ago -proving that these ancient animals were ancestors of today's birds.

Since then, many species of dinosaur have been revealed to have either been completely feathered, or had some feathering on their bodies.

In a recent interview, Professor Paul Barrett at London's Natural History Museum said: "To date, most examples of dinosaur feathers have been found in the meat-eating dinosaurs, known as theropods, which is the group that also includes birds.

"But there's been speculation as to how far back feathers appear in meat-eating dinosaur evolution, and whether feathers might also have been seen in all other dinosaurs."

Music for the new series is by Hans Zimmer, who wrote music for the Pirates of the Caribbean films and other Sir David Attenborough series such as Planet Earth II, Blue Planet II and Seven Worlds, One Planet.

Prehistoric Planet follows Sir David's ´óÏó´«Ã½ One programme Dinosaurs: The Final Day, that focused on the day an asteroid hit Earth wiping out dinosaurs and many other species.

Dinosaurs: The Final Day is available to watch on the ´óÏó´«Ã½ iPlayer, Prehistoric Planet will be available on Apple TV+ from 23 May with a new episode released each day until May.
