Hosted by explorer Ariel Waldman, LIFE UNEARTHED is a cinematic nature docu-series that reveals ecosystems across Earth through radical shifts in scale—exploring everything from microscopic creatures to the planet’s most iconic animals—and even the possibilities of life beyond Earth. With episodes spanning environments near and far, from the sweeping American Prairies to the alien terrains of Antarctica, the series illuminates how every ecosystem is part of something bigger.

LIFE UNEARTHED WITH ARIEL WALDMAN (6×30) is distributed through PBS PLUS and presented by KQED. Produced by Order of Magnitude Films. Executive Produced by KQED and Artemis Independent.
