by | Oct 8, 2024 | News

Digital first channel BBC Earth Science has launched an 18-part YouTube series across the brand’s YouTube channel, as well as BBC Earth’s TikTok, Snap, Instagram and Facebook platforms. The fun, educational videos were commissioned by BBC Studios Digital Brands and created by After Party Studios.

With themes covering space, the human body and weird science, the episodes are a mix of live action, animation and comedy content, featuring digital creators such as Matt Green, the rapping teacher, and social media science star Julia Ravey. Separated into 3 x 6 parts, the videos will unpack scientific phenomena like deja vu, introduce audiences to organisms like Zombie Fungus and discover just how sex works in space.

Jamie MacDonald, head of originals at After Party Studios (pictured), said: “The creation of bold, hyper-engaging original content that enthralls and entertains online audiences is at the heart of After Party Studios’ DNA. We are delighted to be working with BBC Studios again and incredible digital creators like Matt and Julia who bring to life some of science’s most fun and fascinating facets.”

Chris Allen, director of digital content at BBC Studios, added: “After Party Studios have brought their characteristic flair to this exciting new snackable series, where you just might learn something! It’s also brilliant to welcome exciting new talent like Julia Ravey and Matt Green to the BBC Earth Science channel.”

Launched in 2012, BBC Earth Science provides a home for content from the BBC’s science and space landmarks including Ancient Earth and Solar System, the best of its science archive, and original series including Planet Fix, Fractured Reality and Universe Explorers. The Space content created by After Party has launched as part of Space Week across all BBC Earth Science platforms. Human Body and Weird Science will follow at a later date.
