Blue Ant Media and Smithsonian Networks’s joint venture Love Nature has commissioned Otter Dynasty, a 6 x 60-minute series about three otter families in Singapore.

Produced by Blue Ant-owned Beach House Pictures, in association with Love Nature and Discovery’s Animal Planet, the series is scheduled to launch on Love Nature’s linear and streaming platforms in November 2022.

The three families featured in the show are the ruling Bay City family, which resides in the Marina Bay; the up-and-coming River Rebels, who have set their sights set on one day living in Marina Bay; and The Wildlings, a young family living in the Mangrove forest.
