From the creators of The Zoo and The Aquarium, and the producers behind Netflix hits Unknown Number: The High School Catfish and America’s Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders, comes a powerful new series: THE SANCTUARY.

Set in Tasmania - one of the world’s most spectacular and biodiverse places - THE SANCTUARY is a global series that embeds within Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary to capture its mission of rescuing, rehabilitating, and releasing Australia’s most iconic animals.

THE SANCTUARY is a heartfelt and adventurous wildlife documentary TV series set in Tasmania’s rugged wilderness. At its core is Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary - a vital hub dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating, and releasing some of Australia’s most iconic and endangered animals, including Tasmanian devils, wombats, bandicoots, tiger snakes, and penguins.

The sanctuary’s transformation is driven by Greg, whose lifelong mission began as a child dreaming of owning Bonorong - a dream he fulfilled by turning it into a world-class refuge. Alongside his wife Melissa, and a passionate team of staff and hundreds of volunteers, they face the urgent challenges of climate change and habitat loss to protect Tasmania’s unique wildlife.

Bonorong never slows down. In just the last few months, they've been flooded with urgent rescues, incredible recoveries, and unexpected encounters - from life-or-death wildlife emergencies to inspiring community rescue missions, this series delivers raw, real, and relentless action at the frontlines of conservation

Set against the breath-taking backdrop of wild mountains, pristine coastlines, and dense forests, THE SANCTUARY offers viewers an intimate window into the raw beauty of nature and the profound bond between humans and animals. Through compelling storytelling and stunning cinematography, this series reveals a moving story of resilience, hope, and the fight to safeguard our natural world for generations to come.
