Nat Geo Wild’s new series, “Savage Kingdom: Uprising,” is narrated by “Game of Thrones” actor Charles Dance (Tywin Lannister). It airs November 24. National Geographic is doing what it does best this Thanksgiving weekend: Stoking your wanderlust with stunning footage of the natural world.
The second installment of its “Savage Kingdom,” series features warring lion clans struggling for survival in a remote region of Botswana.
The series, narrated by “Game of Thrones” actor Charles Dance (Tywin Lannister), follows the lions — and their leopard and hyena counterparts — as vicious yet relatable characters. It takes a dramatic look at the lengths the animals go to ensure their clan’s survival during the region’s long dry season.
In a video on National Geographic’s website, filmmaker Andrea Crawford discussed the challenges of filming “in the bush” for over two years to get footage of the series’ central characters.
