The Lion King comes to life in a captivating four-part nature documentary following the lion cub Kio as he grows into a position of leadership as a majestic adult. Filmed over four years in Kenya’s Maasai Mara game reserve with director Jon Favreau (the live-action Lion King) and BBC Studios Natural History Unit’s creative director Mike Gunton at the helm, Lion captures Kio’s evolution in a cinematic narrative with music from Hans Zimmer and narration by O.J. Lynch, a Lion King stage veteran. The series launches with two episodes, with the remainder premiering Aug. 26. (All four chapters can be streamed Thursday on Disney+ and Hulu.)
