A new video podcast, Naturewatch, will be launching on the BBC later this year.

Naturewatch will explore the latest nature news in Britain, share remarkable animal sightings and celebrate seasonal wildlife moments each week.

Each episode will be accompanied by an audio-only Q&A programme (exclusive to BBC Sounds) where the hosts will answer your questions about the natural world.

When does Naturewatch start?

Naturewatch is expected to begin in autumn 2026, though no official date has been confirmed yet.

Where can you watch Naturewatch?

Naturewatch will be available to watch on BBC Two and BBC iPlayer.  

Who will be presenting Naturewatch?

The BBC hasn’t announced any presenters or contributors for Naturewatch yet – but some of the familiar faces we’ve seen on other Watches programmes (such as Springwatch and Winterwatch) could also appear on this expansion of the brand.
