The Future is Wild (reboot)

The Future Is Wild is a 2020 thirty-six part documentary television miniseries. Based on research and interviews with several scientists, the miniseries shows how life could evolve in the future if humans were to disappear from the Earth altogether through extinction. The version broadcast on the Discovery Channel modified this premise, supposing instead that the human species had completely abandoned the Earth and had sent back probes to examine the progress of life on the planet as time progressed. The show took the form of a nature documentary. It is a reboot of The Future Is Wild from 2002.

Despite being a reboot, the animals from the 2002 version do not return.

Ecosystems
Forty-five ecosystems were presented, five in each of nine future periods.
