Wildlife Cinematographers Gordon Buchanan, Vianet Djenguet and Anna Dimitriadis join forces with the Natural History Film Unit, Botswana, led by Brad Bestelink and his local camera team.

Following individual lions, cheetahs and leopards for six months, over two extreme seasons, this documentary shows their battle to survive in an increasingly challenging world. From unprecedented wildfire to flood and extreme drought, the cats and camera crew are tested to their limits.

With extraordinary, unparalleled access, in an area unvisited by tourists, and the opportunity to film from the ground, the air and through the night, the Big Cat 24/7 team work together to follow the cats’ lives around the clock.

A linear story across six crucial months, the camera team form unique bonds with the cats, and each other. Each episode follows a pivotal point in our cats’ lives… ending on a cliff-hanger.

A revolution in low light camera technology means the series showcases previously unseen behavior at night; cutting-edge drones keep track of the big cat’s movements like never before, and combining the raw endeavor of an expedition with premium natural history footage gives the show a contemporary new approach.

The series is aimed at a family audience; it doesn’t shy away from predation in the natural world, but documents it with taste.
