Infinity Blade shared this on Discord (and knowing they knew how much I would love it makes it all the better ). I have 3 burning questions: -What will the CGI look like? I particularly hope it will be more Impossible Pictures CGI (which is my GOAT CGI), just in 2025. -What times will they cover? I would be very happy with a simple rehash of what WWD 1999 did with updated knowledge, but it would be even better if they can cover some times WWD 1999 did not. -What will the music sound like? WWD music is my GOAT for dinosaur documentary music, so more of it is always welcome.

I wouldn't hold my breath, but I suppose it's plausible.
That said, I feel like the weirdest part is that presumably, Tim Haines is not back on this one, since he's doing Surviving Earth.
I hope it leads to a new/updated WWB.

Maybe I should not hold my breath either, just to be on the safe side. Still excited though.
I would love a new WWB too!
No Tim Haines=/=a bad documentary (ie: Planet Dinosaur and Dinosaur Planet), but it would be ideal if he could in fact get involved at least a bit.

Lol, would be funny (even if stupid and DEFINITELY ENRAGING) if it's just another animated movie like 2013 one.
In regards to the overall show, I hope they will choose unusual time periods. Granted, the original had Cretaceous Australia, but that's just an exception to the rule. I also hope there will be less North America, but I doubt it considering it is made by Americans (and Brits) for Americans (mainly because US population is much, much bigger than the UK one, which means more viewers and money). Oh, and also I want Early Jurassic, but I've already talked about it in my LOOP review.
Oh, about the settings that I personally want them to depict, here is my list of them:
1. Triassic South America, the cradle of dinosaurs. While New Blood focused on their rise in a landscape dominated by archosaurs and dicynodonts, this can instead depict their origins from ornithodiran ancestors (AND NO, EUPARKERIA EVOLVING INTO ALLOSAURUS IN REAL TIME LIKE A POKEMON DOES NOT COUNT).
2. Early Jurassic Antarctica, the episode about survivors of a horrible extinction (they can even allude to an original show I guess, by depicting Late Triassic organisms being obliterated somehow). While first big theropods and first small ornithischians will likely be in the center of attention (this show isn't called WWD for nothing), I hope early crocodylomorphs and some mammals will be depicted as well.
3. Early Cretaceous (or maybe even Late Jurassic) China. What can you say, I never get tired of feathered arboreal weirdos. They can even include gliding mammals and lizards as well, just to show how good these places were to develop flying abilities (more than once, of course).
4. This show will likely have token marine episode, but I'm not sure where I want it to take place. Late Cretaceous and Late Jurassic seas are already showcased in many different shows, so I guess I would prefer a freshwater focus for once. Late Cretaceous Africa will be a great place, with a potential to depict not only Biblically accurate Spinosaurus, but humongous Mawsonia and crocodylomorphs as well.
5. Obviously, if you're not Prehistoric Planet, you can't get away without depicting K-Pg. I'm not sure where I really want for it to take place, but I guess Hateg Island will be fine enough (huge fan of island biology, and even Planet Dinosaur already doing this would not stop me. By the way, does it count if you steal from yourself?).
6. As for the last one (probably), they can defy expectation and focus on bird evolution instead. Yeah, we already had it in LOOP, but it would still be interesting.
Overall, I think if BBC really decided to make WWD 2, they have a lot of potential, and I'm kind of interested where will they take it.
