Greta Thunberg Series Finalized at BBC

A few months ago, we reported about how a series based on the life of young activist and environmentalist Greta Thunberg has been in the works for a while now.

It has finally been confirmed that the series has landed at BBC. The title and planned number of episodes weren’t immediately announced. BBC Studios also didn’t unveil a network or streaming home for the show.

The series, unveiled at BBC Studios’ annual Showcase event in Liverpool, will follow recent Time person of the year Thunberg’s "international crusade, which takes her to the front line of climate change in some of the most extraordinary places on earth, as she explores what actions could be taken to limit climate change and the damage it causes."

A BBC description also said: "As she travels, Greta meets not only leading scientists but political leaders and business heavyweights, exploring the scientific evidence with them and challenging them to change."

The series will further chart the 17-year-old activist’s own journey into adulthood "as she continues to be confronted by the real-world consequences of inaction” and see Thunberg share ”some of the quiet moments as she writes the impactful speeches that are now broadcast and analyzed around the world, as she lives a teenage life like no other."

Hulu also has a Thunberg project in the works
