Plot Synopsis

Narrated by Samira Wiley, NIGHT ON EARTH is a one-hour nature series that uses new technology to lift night's veil, revealing the hidden lives of the world's creatures -- from lions on the hunt to bats on the wing. On Wednesday, January 29, 2020 at 3:01am ET/12:01am PT, Netflix released the entire six-episode series:

"Moonlit Plains": From the African savanna to the Peruvian desert, lives of predators and prey are closely linked to the moon's cycles and the opportunities they bring.

"Frozen Nights": Mothers with cubs fight to survive, and a lonely monkey finds safety in numbers as animals navigate cold landscapes during the planet's longest nights.

"Jungle Nights": Beneath the jungle's canopy, the night is alive with fantastic beasts, large and small, who use the darkness to socialize, hunt, climb and crawl.

"Dark Seas": The oceans' tides ebb and flow in concert with the moon, and so do the lives of the creatures below, from the largest whale shark to the smallest prawn.

"Sleepless Cities": After dark, the natural world appears in unnatural places: Migrating elephants stroll through town, and urbanized otters romp in the city.

"Dusk Till Dawn": The night unfolds to reveal magic in the air, drama in the deep, and danger on the ground as animals across the planet rise with the sunset.
