Synopsis:

“The Lion King” director Jon Favreau and BBC natural history executive producer Mike Gunton join forces to bring to life the extraordinary true story of a lion cub named Kio on his epic journey to become a king. Four years in the making, LION is the first natural history series to follow a lion’s complete transformation from a tiny cub to king. With Favreau’s passion for the hero’s journey and his experience making the live-animation version of “The Lion King,” along with Gunton’s natural history expertise, the whole team was able to capture a groundbreaking saga of family, loss and courage. LION is an ambitious and emotionally driven four-part series that goes beyond traditional wildlife filmmaking to deliver a gripping, blockbuster drama rooted in documentary truth that audiences will love … and a new hero to root for!
