Several months ago I mentioned Animal Planet was working on a new show. I got some more info on Dark Days In Monkey City. It looks like it will be airing Tuesday Feb 24 10:00 PM EST / 10:30 PM PST. Here’s a description:
Through a unique combination of live-action and graphic novel-style animation, this new series descends upon the magical isle of Sri Lanka in the deserted city of Polonnaruwa, where large populations of gray langurs and toque macaques live on the streets. Once ruled by Buddhist and Hindu kings, the temple city is now home to a myriad of gangs and troops who fight to survive in this abandoned city where food is scarce and the drama is plentiful. Revealing intense tales of love, treachery, betrayal and triumph, their stories are all part of the Smithsonian Primate Project, the longest-running study of primates in the world.
I’ve also got pictures:
