Hollywood actor Tom Hardy is set to narrate a nature documentary series for Sky and Netflix, due to air in December.
Titled Predators, the six-part series will follow five apex predators battling for supremacy and survival in challenging environments across the globe. It will feature polar bears in Canada, wild dogs in Zimbabwe, pumas in Chile, lions in Botswana and cheetahs in Tanzania.
Sky’s director of documentaries and factual, Poppy Dixon, said: “This series celebrates some of the most exhilarating and impressive animals on Earth, whilst recognising the impact of climate change on their lives and habitats. To bring Predators to life with one of the UK’s most gifted and reputable talents, who has a passion for environmental causes, is a great pleasure.”

Oscar-nominated actor Tom, 45 – best known for his roles in The Dark Knight Rises and Mad Max: Fury Road – is making a return to voiceover work having previously narrated Amazon's All or Nothing: Tottenham Hotspur in 2020.
He also caused a stir when he first appeared on CBeebies Bedtime Stories in 2016, subsequently making a return for several episodes including its Christmas edition, where he was accompanied by his French bulldog Blue. His stories have since been watched more than a million times on BBC iPlayer.
Predators marks Sky’s first co-production with Netflix and will launch on Sky Nature and streaming service Now in December. Last week, the Dunkirk actor stunned onlookers at a Milton Keynes martial arts tournament which he “secretly arranged” to enter and went on to win a gold medal.
