Asia is a 2024 British television series co-produced by the BBC Studios Natural History Unit, BBC America, ZDF and France Télévisions. It focuses on wildlife and wild habitats in Asia, and was four years in the making.[1] It consists of seven hour-long episodes.[2]
Rebecca Nicholson in The Guardian described Asia as "a televisual wonder", praising the filming, editing, soundtrack and narration, but noted the script "toned down the rhetoric that permeated Planet Earth III".[3] Jasper Rees of The Telegraph similarly noted there are "no climate change sermons", and approved of the series' focus on visuals.[4] Nick Duerden, writing in i, complained that Asias format is unoriginal, but still appreciated the "familiar spell" of an Attenborough nature documentary.[5]
