BBC Factual has released three first look pictures from the forthcoming BBC One and iPlayer series Walking With Dinosaurs, due to air later this year.

More than 25 years after its first outing, the iconic Walking With Dinosaurs is returning in a major new BBC Studios production for the BBC and PBS, co-produced with ZDF and France Télévisions. This new six-part series will “take viewers on a unique journey back through time, revealing the incredible life stories of these long-lost giants.”

Each episode of Walking With Dinosaurs tells the story of an individual dinosaur whose remains are currently being unearthed by dinosaur hunters. Experts can work out how these prehistoric creatures lived, hunted, fought and died more accurately than ever before. As the dinosaurs’ bones emerge from the ground, the series brings the prehistoric stories to life with vfx – “making each episode a gripping dinosaur drama based on the very latest evidence.”
