Apple today shared the trailer for its upcoming nature docuseries "Tiny World," which is set to launch on Friday, October 2. Narrated by Paul Rudd, Tiny World looks at the world "through the eyes of the tiniest creatures."
Narrated by Paul Rudd, this docuseries showcases nature's lesser-known tiny heroes. Spotlighting small creatures and the extraordinary things they do to survive, each episode is filled with surprising stories and spectacular cinematography.
"Tiny World" is one of three documentary TV shows coming to Apple TV this fall. It will be joined by "Becoming You" and "Earth at Night in Color."
"Becoming You," which debuts on November 13, explores how children's first 2000 days shape their lives, following more than 100 children across the world from Nepal to Japan to Borneo. "Earth at Night in Color" comes out on December 4 and follows animals at night with Tom Hiddleston narrating.
All of the documentary shows are Apple TV+ exclusives and can be watched by anyone with an Apple TV+ subscription, which is priced at $4.99 for up to six family members. Apple is continuing to give away a free year of Apple TV+ with device purchase, though this free year can only be used one time per family.

Dammit Apple! Paul Rudd??!!?? You missed a perfect opportunity to spice up the nature documentary by getting Zefrank1 to narrate. Yes, yes he does a dead on impression of Morgan Freeman as well.
I love this. More documentaries please. It’s the kind of easily digestible content that keeps Netflix around for me. Maybe some standup comedy specials and music specials with Apple Music will help create this kind of filler to augment the original series. All that’s missing for a well rounded TV channel is some live content like sports and news.
