This season brings rebellion as the sins of the lion king are carried out by his sons. The series returns as Savage Kingdom: Uprising, a four-part global miniseries series event that tells an unvarnished tale of survival on the African plains.
Emmy-nominated actor Charles Dance (Game of Thrones) returns to narrate the series, which is a rare look at warring animal clans battling for survival in a remote region of Africa that is drying up after years of flood-soaked abundance.
The winners are rewarded with the richest hunting grounds in the kingdom, while the losers are fated to exile... or even death.
Savage Kingdom: Uprising returns to the remote wilderness of Africa to delve deeper into the individual characters and reveals the life and death decisions that drive survival in their ruthless and unpredictable world.
The story continues as sons plot to overthrow fathers, clans seek revenge on their enemies and new arrivals enter the Savage Kingdom to stake their claim.
Will the aging lion king Sekekama hold on to his bloody crown? Has the leopard prince Neo inherited enough talent from his mother to survive? How will the lions of the Northern Pride wreak their revenge on queen Matsumi?
Leaders will rise and factions will fall. No one is safe in the Savage Kingdom.
In the Season 2 premiere, "The Enemy Within": male lion Sekekama, the undisputed king of the Marsh Pride, must contend with his three eldest sons who are hungry for power.
On the outskirts of their territory, the Northern Pride is growing a bloodthirsty lion army, preparing for revenge against its sworn enemy.
Meanwhile, the kingdom's deadliest leopard assassin, Saba, works tirelessly to make sure her only son follows in her deadly footsteps.
