We're getting a sequel to the Discovery Channel's BBC's breathtaking Planet Earth series. It's called Life, and its focus is more on animate things. Watch the trailer (after the jump):

The BBC, The Discovery Channel, and NHK deserve a lot of credit for bringing new art to the dusty nature documentary at a critical time.

Thanks, Hillary.
