- DirectorJennifer Anafi-AcquahChris PittStarsRika AndersonMercer BoffeyJames DottinEarly Earth was a hellscape of molten lava and barren rock, bombarded by meteors, with no atmosphere at all. How did our familiar blue sky - the thin, life-giving band of gasses protecting our planet - come to be?
- DirectorKiki LawranceStarsMercer BoffeyPeter Girguis700 million years ago, Earth was a giant snowball cloaked in ice from pole to pole. How did life manage to hold on through this deadly deep freeze, find ways to bounce back, and thrive in the dramatically different world that emerged?
- DirectorKiki LawranceStarsMercer BoffeyFor billions of years, life teemed in Earth's oceans while the land was desolate and inhospitable. See how life made the leap to land, transforming a barren, rocky landscape into the lush, green world we call home.

- StarsDan NachtrabEarthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, and extreme weather. Has Earth always been this way? Featuring footage of top geologic hot spots on every continent, the film traces the scientifically-based story of the 4.5 billion-year-old Earth, from the core to the crust and up into the atmosphere.
- StarsRichard HammondJulia DavisRydell DanzieJoin host Richard Hammond on the ultimate engineering project. How to Build a Planet uses stunning interactive CGI to reveal step-by-step how a world is put together. With a little help from the world's top scientists and engineers, Hammond will build the Earth and Solar System piece by piece.
- StarsEzra KnightMichio KakuAlex FilippenkoHumans may think they know about Earth, but there's a lot about the third planet from the sun that most don't. This series takes a look at some of its aspects -- with which the average person may be unacquainted. Computer graphics and scientists reveal new facts about Earth that include rain triggered by cosmic rays, and canyons of gravity that warp space and time. "Secrets of the Earth" explores this world, providing data and inspiring a sense of awe that people usually feel about other celestial bodies.
- DirectorYavar AbbasStarsReg E. CatheyPaul EssiembreAnimated film showing the making of Planet Earth from rocks and dust to our current home, beginning 4.5 billion years ago. Explains the clash with planet Thea, creation of oxygen, initial life underwater and stromatolites. Initial plate tectonics, Snowball earth and the first continents of Rhodinia and Gondwana.
- DirectorYavar AbbasStarsMatt VaskoHow the earth evolved and man's minuscule place in it. Excellent to understand what we know today as our earth's evolution.****************************************************
- StarsIain StewartAli HaleyalurIn each episode, geologist Iain Stewart describes how a certain geological force played a determinant part in human history. Culture may render people less dependent on nature, it still interacts with it, and actually increases the importance of such natural resources as minerals and fossil fuels.
- StarsCorey JohnsonJonathan KeebleTony PraveThe natural wonders of the world are being explained.****
- DirectorPeter ChinnStarsEdward HerrmannGeoffrey BoultonGary StevensA brief account of the Earth's geological progression, from its creation 4.6 billion years ago to scientists' predictions of its demise more than 2.5 billion years in the future.****
- StarsPatricia ClarksonA stunning documentary series about planet Earth.
- StarsMaurice LaMarcheKen CarpenterThe Faces of Earth is a four-part exploration of the Earth's dynamic systems and our connection to them. The planet we live on is a complex system of elements, processes, and interactions that, over the vast expanses of geologic time, have produced the world we know today. The key to understanding Earth is that our planet has not always been like it is today, nor will it remain so in the future; in fact, the only constant on Earth is change.
- StarsIain StewartLeo HouldingVictor BakerGeologist Dr. Iain Stewart explores how a single force like wind or vulcanism shapes our planet and impacts life, interacting with other natural elements and life forms, as in climate change.****
- StarsJeremy VineSeries showing how geological forces shape our planet and how humans, other animals and plants experience and manipulate time.
- StarsChristopher PlummerTsutomu YamazakiJean-Philippe PuymartinOver its more than 4-billion-year history, Earth has been home to repeated violent climactic changes, which have caused mass extinctions. And yet, life has survived.****
