Apple TV+’s celebrated docuseries “The Secret Lives of Animals” scores six Daytime Emmy Award nominations, including Outstanding Nature and Science Program

Apple TV+ lands six nominations for the 52nd Daytime Emmy Awards for the beloved nature docuseries “The Secret Lives of Animals,” including Outstanding Science and Nature Program; Outstanding Directing Team for a Single Camera Daytime Non-Fiction Program; Outstanding Music Direction and Composition; Outstanding Cinematography; Outstanding Single Camera Editing; and Outstanding Sound Mixing and Sound Editing. Nominations for the 52nd Daytime Emmy Awards were announced today by the Television Academy, and the winners will be unveiled at a ceremony on 17 October, 2025.

Hailing from the acclaimed BBC Studios Natural History Unit, “The Secret Lives of Animals,” narrated by SAG Award winner Hugh Bonneville (“Paddington,” “Downton Abbey”), highlights 77 unique species in 24 countries over three years, revealing stunning, never-before-seen animal behaviours and highlighting the remarkable intelligence of the natural world. “The Secret Lives of Animals” utilises cutting-edge technology to showcase new and remarkable animal behaviours. For the first time, “The Secret Lives of Animals” captures the sounds and vibrations of a unique jumping spider courtship dance, a killifish in Trinidad breathing through its tail when out of the water, and a wood mouse marking its territory with signposts. Witness a rarely seen relationship between a frog and a tarantula, a land lizard that can breathe underwater, and a monkey that uses a bizarre nose-poking ritual as a test of friendship. Each episode focuses on specific behaviours that are pivotal in the life cycles of various animals — from birth and leaving home to raising a family, and from finding food to growing old — highlighting their striking intelligence and adaptability.
