Disney has announced that National Geographic has greenlit a brand new documentary, which is going by the working title of “Meet The Planets”.

This brand new series is being developed by Ryan Reynolds’ Maximum Effort and the Emmy Award-winning BBC Studios Science Unit (“The Surgeon’s Cut,” “Walking with Dinosaurs”).

“Meet The Planets” is an astronomy series that brings the galaxy’s most famous family to life, with the sun as the matriarch, surrounded by her unruly planetary children.

The first series of its kind, “Meet The Planets”, will collide with mind-blowing science with sharp scripted comedy and original animation, allowing the planets to speak for themselves.
 
For BBC Studios Science Unit, Andrew Cohen is executive producer. For National Geographic, Betsy Forhan is executive producer; Bengt Anderson is senior vice president, Production; Charlie Parsons, is senior vice president, Development; and Tom McDonald is executive vice president, Global Factual and Unscripted Content.

No details have been released on when this series will be released on the National Geographic channel or on Disney+, but it’s likely going to be a while away as National Geographic often announces its documentaries a year or two away from release.
