AFTER ALMOST FOUR YEARS OF WAITING...#SurvivingEarth HAS FINALLY COME!
Created by Impossible Pictures and TIM HAINES, i.e., the masters behind the Walking With series, will SE be yet another glorious success? MOST LIKELY YES!
TRAILER BREAKDOWN...BEGINS NOW! (1/?)
Our first shot is a tree being struck by lightning. This is a scene that may remind you of the Dimetrodon segment in Walking with Monsters, and as you'll see later, this indeed is most likely from a Permian sequence...Though probably not the one Dimetrodon will appear in. (2/?)
Carboniferous forests burning...
This forest is a mixture of photoreal VFX and live action elements from a PRACTICAL FX FOREST the team built for the series! (3/?)
A small amniote helplessly watches as its world is turned upside down...(4/?)
Yes, the aforementioned first shot is most likely a shot from the episode centred on THE BIG DYING--THE PERMIAN EXTINCTION! (5/?)
Some sort of toxodon, most likely Mixotoxodon...(6/?)
A HUGE HERD OF SCUTOSAURUS! (7/?)
Triassic period? Some sort of giant ichthyosaur, attacking a...What is this thing? Some sort of dinosauromorph...? Or something more closely related to pterosaur side of the archosaur family tree? (8/?)
Fighting Gorgonopsids! (9/?)
Some early dinosaur...Zupaysaurus, maybe? (10/?)
DIMETRODON! A VIVID, BEAUTIFUL CREATURE! (11/?)
A moist, misty forest. Rain pouring down. (12/?)
Two Saurosuchus cornered a herd of Ischigualastia...But a flood swallowed them all! Even a mighty pseudosuchian like Saurosuchus cannot survive the relentless forces of nature....(13/?)
THE GREAT DYING...HELL ON EARTH...(14/?)
A new iteration of K-Pg...(15/?)
NANUQSAURUS..(16/?)
SPINOSAURUS...helpless in the face of an oncoming tsunami...(17/?)
One of the greatest predatory dinosaurs of all time is not going to survive Earth, apparently. (18/?)
Arctodus footprint...? (19/?)
Is this Meganeura?...Insects frozen in a flash....(20/?)
Cold forests, frozen mountains...(21/?)
Wilson, L. et. al,. (2025). Arctic bird nesting traces back to the Cretaceous. Science (New York, N.Y.), 388(6750), 974–978.
Yes, I'VE SEEN THIS BIRD IN THIS ARTWORK BY GABRIEL UGUETO, WHO HAPPENS TO BE ONE OF THE ARTISTS WHO WORKED ON SE!
(22/?) doi.org/10.1126/scienc…
Fighting gorgonopsids. Gorgonopsid has fallen out of the map...(23/?)
THIS SHOT!
The pliosaur Brachauchenius has been brutally thrown onto the shore by the tsunami...(24/?)
Cotylorhynchus!!! (25/?)
We've seen this shot before...Ischigualastia hatchling...(26/?)
Based on the patterns, this may not be an Ischigualastia hatchling. Some Permian dicynodont, perhaps? (27/?)
When life refuses to end. (28/?)
An artwork by Dr. Mark Witton coming to life...A prehistoric shark (likely Cretoxyrhina) grabbing a Pteranodon sternbergi...
WE ALSO SEE THE PRACTICAL FX NODOSAUR MADE BY MANGOSTONE (the studio that also made the dead Ankylosaurus in The Dinosaurs)! (29/?)
A family of gorgonopsids! (30/?)
Brachauchenius mother and calf! (31/?)
Some kind of early sauropodomorph...(32/?)
Ichthyornis and Spinosaurus...(33/?)
Hello, who are you? Why the weird face?
Honestly I don't know what this thing is. Somebody help me in the comments, please.
(34/?)
We see the baby speens from the still revealed a few days ago, and then...THIS!!!
GIANT, BIOLUMINESCENT ORTHOCONES INTERACTING!
This age of paleo media makes cephalopods look insanely cool. (35/?)
Cute baby Cuvieronius! (36/?)
Arctodus mother and calf. Another instance of Arctodus that...actually looks like a bear and feels authentic. (37/?)
Early mammals crossing a river. But the water holds dangers. As we know based on BTS photos, Kosmodraco lurks below...(38/?)
Baby Cyamodus!
See them in all their wonderful detail HERE!

Cuvieronius journey...(40/?)
Smilodon lurking in the undergrowth...(41/?)
What...are these? Some said these are Coryphodon, but I'm not sure...(42/?)
Dimetrodon Attacking! (43/?)
HADROSAUR POWER MOMENT! NANUQSAURUS BEING BRUTALLY TRAMPLED AND THROWN ABOUT BY STAMPEDING EDMONTOSAURUS! (44/?)
Don't mess with Cuvieronius. (45/?)
With a beautiful shot of Cuvieronius feasting on meadows alongside Eremotherium and Mixotoxodon, we come to the end of this trailer...and the end of this thread.
ONTO JUNE 11, THEN!
