This landmark Apple TV+ series reveals the night in glorious full colour like never before. Filmed by moonlight, and using the latest camera and post production technologies, each episode follows the character arc of different nocturnal animals.

A lone lioness loses her cubs on the moonlit Maasai Mara plains; a tarsier family hunt under the stars in Sulawesi jungles; a peregrine falcon hunts under the neon glow of Chicago’s tower-blocks. Packed with never-before-seen behaviours and driven by emotional character-led stories, this 12-part revolutionary series redefines the way we see our night time world.

Behind the
Scenes

"Using these cameras for me has been a real revelation. It’s allowing us to see stuff that we would never normally see. It turns us humans into nocturnal animals."
