US infotainment broadcaster Discovery’s channel Animal Planet unveiled its 2015-2016 upfront slate. The network’s offering of new and returning programming aims to connect audiences with the untamed natural world. The network promises its male and female viewers raw, unpredictable and ‘unscriptable’ entertainment. Animal Planet, TLC and Velocity group president Marjorie Kaplan said, “Animal Planet’s 2015-16 programming and characters have a wild, untamed streak that’s a powerful invitation to viewers. The more we live apart from the wild world, the more we crave authentic experiences that bring us closer to that sweet spot where humans and animals coexist.” Animal Planet GM executive VP Rick Holzman said, “Animal Planet is a dynamic television brand that’s constantly evolving. ‘Living wild’ is a big part of our network’s underlying ethos and is our North Star when commissioning content. It’s evident in the range of programming we’ve developed for the year ahead, including our proven returning series and several surprising new offerings.”
