How to watch Walking with Dinosaurs online or on TV from around the world

A classic prehistoric documentary series is finally getting a long-awaited reboot: Walking with Dinosaurs is back and, depending on where you live, it comes out at some point in May or June.

Each of the six episodes of Walking with Dinosaurs will introduce us to a dinosaur in the midst of a fossil being unearthed. CGI will bring this creature to life as we learn about its life and times, and how it interacts with the other creatures of its time.

This remake of the classic Kenneth Branagh-narrated series takes Bertie Carvel as a narrator (here's how to watch the original Walking with Dinosaurs by the way).

Over several episodes we'll meet a baby Triceratops, a family-oriented Spinosaurs, some allied Gastonia, a pack of Albertosaurus, a herd of Pachyrhinosaurus and a solitary Lusotitan.

If you're excited for this reimagined series, you might be perturbed to know that it sees a staggered release depending on where you live. But we'll talk you through that in your respective sections. So here's how to watch the new Walking with Dinosaurs series.

How to watch Walking with Dinosaurs in the US

In the US, you will be able to watch Walking with Dinosaurs on PBS, but you'll have to wait.

The show will premiere on PBS on Monday, June 16, and the broadcaster will be airing all six episodes over three days.

While you need a cable or cord-cutting alternative to get the PBS channel, it's technically a free-to-air one. However the episodes will also be shown on PBS' app so you can stream them online.

The Australian broadcaster for Walking with Dinosaurs is set to be ABC, which it has confirmed itself.
