Philippa Edwards

Philippa Edwards kinda flies under the radar, but honestly, her resume is wild if you’re into nature docs or anything with a hint of Attenborough magic. She’s been all over the place, from the epic, sweeping beauty of "Our Planet" (2019)—yeah, that’s the one everyone binged during lockdown and suddenly felt bad about plastic bottles—to the punch-in-the-gut reality check that is "Breaking Boundaries: The Science of Our Planet" (2021). And guess what? She’s back in the mix for "Ocean with David Attenborough" (2025), which, let’s be real, is already shaping up to be every whale lover’s dream (or nightmare, depending on how much you can handle the truth about what’s happening out there). Edwards has this knack for making science feel like a high-stakes adventure. Watching her stuff, you get swept up in epic migrations, wild underwater chases, and those weird, silent moments where you realize, dang, we’re really messing things up down here. She’s not afraid to get into the hard stuff either—climate change, mass extinction, all those cheerful topics. But she balances it with hope, or at least a sharp nudge that, hey, maybe it’s not too late. It’s not just about pretty shots of dolphins, either. There’s serious storytelling going on—big, emotional arcs, unexpected twists, and enough jaw-dropping visuals to make you question why you ever thought the ocean was “just water.” Edwards brings the facts, but she delivers them with a punch that actually sticks with you.
