(And yes, I know that's a T-rex in the above photo. My personal favorite dinosaur was not featured in the initial key art release, shame on Netflix. They did, however, include an extreme closeup of an eye; see below.) On Thursday, the global streaming service released the first photos and the trailer for its upcoming documentary series The Dinosaurs, executive produced by Steven Spielberg and narrated by Morgan Freeman. Netflix, Spielberg, the Voice of God and dinos - find me a better combination in natural history programming.

Music Ted Cruz Wants Ted Sarandos to Answer for Billie Eilish's "Stolen Land" Grammys Speech, for Some Reason Well, actually, it does get a bit better: George Lucas' Industrial Light & Magic handled the visual effects and animation for The Dinosaurs. The Spielberg and Lucas lineup worked pretty well for the Indiana Jones franchise, E.T. and Star Wars. They've also previously collaborated on a dinosaur project - a little-known film series called Jurassic Park. The scale of The Dinosaurs is a bit smaller than those movies, but it still boasts "an epic journey into a lost world," per Netflix's simple synopsis. The Amblin Documentaries production is a partnership with the Silverback Films team behind Life on Our Planet; The Dinosaurs follows "the rise and fall of the dinosaurs across hundreds of millions of years." The Dinosaurs premieres a month and a day from today, March 6, 2026 on Netflix. It's OK, you can wait a little longer - it's already been like 250 million years. Spielberg and Lucas also worked together on Jaws. Interestingly, the trailer for The Dinosaurs opens with what would have been that little fishies' worst nightmare. The dino is gonna need a bigger lunch. Watch the trailer here: The Dinosaurs is a four-episode documentary, and each episode is an hour long. Dan Tapster, Keith Scholey and Alastair Fothergill split the showrunning duties. Nick Shoolingin-Jordan directs, and Scholey, Darryl Frank and Justin Falvey executive produce alongside Spielberg.
