Netflix has confirmed the launch of The Dinosaurs, an ambitious documentary series focused on the evolutionary history of dinosaurs, from their most remote origins to their extinction, and designed to offer the viewer a unique prehistoric immersion experience.
The production, which will premiere on March 6, 2026 on the platform, will consist of four one-hour episodes each and will feature executive production by Steven Spielberg through Amblin Entertainment, as well as narration by veteran Morgan Freeman, a recurring figure in far-reaching documentaries.
The approach of The Dinosaurs combines scientific rigor with a cinematic visual narrative, supported by advanced special effects technology provided by Industrial Light & Magic, to recreate in detail creatures such as Marasuchus, Plateosaurus, Mamenchisaurus or the iconic Tyrannosaurus rex. The series will explore not only these giants, but also lesser-known species and other prehistoric groups, as well as the evolutionary connection with modern birds.
