Episode 1 - "The Drought" - Premieres Saturday, August 5 at 8pm ET/PT on BBC AMERICA and available on as a full-season binge on AMC+

It's the peak of a four-year drought in a wilderness in Botswana named Mashatu. Elephant, cheetah, leopard, jackal, and baboon families are forced to live side by side as their sagas collide.

Episode 2 - "Flood and Foes" - Premieres Saturday, August 12 at 8pm ET/PT on BBC AMERICA

The drought couldn't last forever. As Mashatu's residents reach breaking point, the rains finally arrive. The landscape changes overnight and revived resilience abounds but what should be relief suddenly brings life-threatening situations. To compound everything, a new lion pride moves in.

Mashatu is a lush Eden. There are babies everywhere and all parents are focused on teaching and feeding their young. It's a time of growth and abundance for all. But even paradise has its problems, the abundance attracts new enemies, and the lions are always nearby, watching for their opportunity.
