The great success of One Strange Rock is a testament to the power of storytelling with a different creative team, said Courtney Monroe, CEO of National Geographic Global Networks. “With the creative vision of Darren Aronofsky and the art of Jane Root and Nutopia, One Strange Rock simplifies the traditional boundaries of science fiction and natural history.
Added by Aronofsky, with National Geographic and a wealth of talent and experience of Jane and Nutopia, we embarked on this ambitious project to give the audience a new perspective on our living planet. There was so much we wanted to put together in the first season and we couldn’t. Thankfully we now have the opportunity to bring the beauty and wonder of our planet to the screen.
