‘Planet Earth’ returns, 'Fearless Planet' arrives

Discovery’s eye-popping, award-winning portrait “Planet Earth” starts an encore this Sunday, Nov. 11 at 8 p.m., airing two episodes each week for six weeks.
This weekend’s repeat leads into the premiere of “Fearless Planet” Sunday at 10 p.m., described as “a thrill ride through the earth’s most awesome natural wonders, taking extreme filmmaking to a whole new level.” Paragliding record holder Will Gadd visits Hawaii [in Discovery photo above], Alaska, the Grand Canyon, the Sahara and the Great Barrier Reef, exploring “the geological processes that created these natural wonders.”
