Plot Synopsis

Narrated by Morgan Freeman, OUR UNIVERSE is a six-episode documentary series that takes viewers on an adventure to explore the connections that drive our natural world. From the birth of the Sun to the birth of a sea turtle, OUR UNIVERSE uses animation to dramatize the celestial forces that generated our solar system, while modern camera and CGI technology bring the audience up close and personal with some of the most iconic, charismatic animals on Earth by blending wildlife footage with cosmic special effects. All six 45-minute episodes of OUR UNIVERSE dropped on Tuesday, November 22, 2022 on Netflix:
