The Future Is Wild is a 2020 documentary television series. Based on research and interviews with several scientists, the series 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.

Each episode is 1 hour long.

Ecosystems

270 ecosystems were presented, 30 in each of nine future periods. The Arctic, North & South America, Europe, Asia, Australia, Africa, Russia (which is now a continent), Antarctica, and a new continent named Teria (replacing Hawaii) appear.

5 million years' time

In five million years' time, the Arctic has became a continent, Russia has been declared a continent, and Hawaii grew into a continent the size of Australia. The land bridge between Spain to Morocco has been formed, allowing more biodiversity to occur. Europe has became a frozen wasteland, half of Brazil has became a grassland, there is a land bridge between South America and Antarctica, and Africa has lost most of its rainforests.

Florida Rainforest

Hypothesized Species

• Megadylanus, the last species of dylanus in North America, descended from the American Common Dylanus, lives in the Florida Rainforests.

It is the largest species of dylanus in the future, even bigger than the Indian Giant Dylanus.
• Sword-toothed Cat, descended from a resurrected species of Smilodon, adapting sword-shaped fangs to easily kill prey. It competes with predators, old and new.
• Gigabutterfly, a giant butterfly about the size of a car (due to higher oxygen levels than today), lives in the Florida Rainforests.
• Flesh-ripper, a species of wolf in the Florida Rainforest. It can tear apart flesh of animals, hence its name. It resembles a prehistoric dire wolf in appearance and size.
