It’s looking good for 4K in 2018. DIRECTV just announced their 4K schedule and it’s looking stronger than ever. They’ll be airing the BBC documentary Planet Earth: Blue Planet II over eight nights starting January 20, on channel 104.
Blue Planet II is the sequel to Blue Planet and continues the excellent documentary work first seen in the mid-2000s by the BBC who produced the original Planet Earth. Narrator David Attenborough and composer Hans Zimmer have returned to give the series that characteristic BBC flavor.
