Hello, Readers! BBC America is bringing back Meerkat Manor. Meerkat Manor: Rise of the Dynasty is the next installment of the Meerkat Manor television series, which is known for its fascinating, character-driven storytelling. This series is a BBC America co-production and Oxford Scientific Films.
Three generations of meerkats, descendants of the original Meerkat Manor animals, will be featured in the nature series. The original Meerkat Manor series, which originated in the United Kingdom, ran on Animal Planet for 52 episodes from 2006 to 2008.
In 2005, we first encountered a daring family of meerkats in the documentary series Meerkat Manor, which follows the Whiskers family, led by their mother Flower.
Meerkat Manor: Rise of the Dynasty Release Date
Meerkat Manor: Rise of the Dynasty premieres on BBC America this Saturday, June 5 at 8 p.m. ET, bringing back your beloved mongooses.
Meerkat Manor: Rise of the Dynasty Official Trailer
Each episode is only 30 minutes long and jam-packed with action. It’s reasonable to say you’ll never be bored — and you’ll almost certainly never be satisfied!
Plot:
The plot centers around three families: Whiskers, Hakuna Mata, and Ubuntu, and features arch adversaries clashing, love meerkats, and unexpected pregnancies. While the animals socialize, they never lose sight of their primary goal: survival.
The narrator of the series:
It isn’t just the meerkats who require someone (human) to assist them in telling their story. The series will be narrated by Bill Nighy, a British actor. Nighy previously narrated Meerkat Manor in the United Kingdom, but this will be his first time doing it in the United States.

Caroline Hawkins, Creative Director, Oxford Scientific Films said,” It’s been 12 years since we caught up with the Whiskers and all the other meerkat families that viewers all over the world fell in love with. A lot has happened in that time and we are delighted to be bringing them back in glorious 4k.”
