Read our privacy policy Crew on Netflix’s David Attenborough documentary series Our Planet II had a “horrific” encounter with “incredibly hungry” tiger sharks while filming. Speaking to the Radio Times, director Toby Nowlan said the sharks’ behaviour was “extremely unusual”, adding that the animals looked “incredibly hungry”. The sharks were shown in ‘Our Planet II’ “They were incredibly hungry, so there might not have been enough natural food and they were just trying anything they came across in the water,” Nowlan explained. “The crew was panicked, and basically made an emergency landing on the sand.” Cordey said the original idea had been to do an underwater shoot with the tiger sharks waiting in the shallows at Laysan.
