BBC's new nature documentary Tiger Island arrives 7 June

Nobody does great nature documentaries like the BBC, and now the home of Planet Earth and Our Planet is bringing new two-part series Tiger Island to our screens.

True to its name, Tiger Island follows two tiger mothers – Goma and Mala – and their young cubs as they hunt and survive on an island in Nepal’s Bardiya National Park. The series also tracks the sole male tiger in the area, Bandheil, said to be more elusive than his female counterparts.

The series also features sisters Sushila, Manju, and Ranju Mahatara, specialist tiger guides and expedition leaders at the park who joined the BBC filming crew to guide and advise on shooting.

The first episode of the series will air on BBC One and BBC i Player at 7:15pm on Sunday 7 June followed by the second episode at 7.15pm on Sunday 14 June.

In the UK, you can watch or stream Tiger Island on BBC One or BBC i Player at no cost – it’s FREE to watch Tiger Island in the UK.

The series is composed of two episodes, which will be available one week apart at 7:15pm on Sunday 7 June and 7:15pm on Sunday 14 June.

To watch BBC i Player: Head to the BBC i Player website or download the apps on i OS or Android.

BBC i Player is FREE, but you’ll need an account, with a valid UK postcode and current TV license.

We’ve not seen any word of Tiger Island coming to the US, Australia, or Canada yet, but we'll update this page as new information becomes available.

If you’re a UK resident travelling abroad, you can use a VPN to access Tiger Island from another country.

Episode 1: A team of filmmakers and tiger experts begin tracking a group of tigers in the forested national parks of western Nepal. Equipped with the latest drone technology, remote cameras, and zoom lenses, the team focus on two tiger mothers raising their cubs on an island full of dangers, observing new behaviour from the big cats along the way.

Episode 2: During monsoon season, the team of experts and filmmakers observe the mothers and their cubs at night with thermal cameras. The arrival of a sole male tiger introduces new dynamics – and possible threats – to the group.

Tiger Island is narrated by British actor Amrita Acharia, best known for portraying Daenerys Targaryen’s Dothraki handmaiden Irri in the hit HBO series Game of Thrones.

Acharia also portrayed Dr. Ruby Walker in the ITV series The Good Karma Hospital.

Acharia traces her family to Nepal and Ukraine, giving her a familial link to the country Tiger Island is filmed in.

Tiger Island is filmed in Nepal’s Bardiya National Park, in the Terai lowlands of the country’s western regions.

Bardiya is the largest and least disturbed national park in Nepal, and covers an area of 968 square kilometers (374 square miles) – about three quarters the size of New York City.

To keep contact to a minimum, the Tiger Island team used drones, zoom lenses, remote cameras, and thermal optics to observe and film the big cats in their natural habitat.

Here’s the link to watch Tiger Island when the first episode goes live at 7.15pm on Sunday 7 June.
