Prepare to meet more tiny heroes with huge dramas in a new season of A REAL BUG’S LIFE, the Disney+ Original series from National Geographic, is crawling back onto your screens on January 15th.
Narrated by the hilarious Awkwafina (“The Farewell,” Crazy Rich Asians”), season two dives even deeper into the weird, wild and wonderful world of bugs, and proves that a real bug’s life is just as dramatic as their animated Pixar counterparts.
Armed with cutting-edge filming technology — including motion-controlled cameras, ultra high-speed lenses, macro filming, photogrammetry, probe and microscope lenses, racing first-person drones and ultra high-speed cameras — the series captures astonishingly precise shots of creatures on an incredibly small scale, revealing never-before-filmed behaviors and larger-than-life traits. This season uncovers captivating traits, including first-ever filmed encounters with the Malaysian tiger beetle running so fast that it temporarily loses its ability to see clearly, the femme fatale firefly stealing from a rival spider’s web, American giant stag beetles battling for a mate, and the hatching of peacock spiderlings, small as a grain of sand.
The first season of the series features other incredible stories of the tiny heroes living in worlds beyond the imagination — from a jumping spider looking for a home on the streets of New York to a Costa Rican orchid bee’s first day on the job making perfume. All episodes of the first season are currently streaming.
