‘Life After People’ docuseries returns with new season 15 years later: How you can watch free
A brand new season of the hit history docuseries Life After People returns to the History Channel Monday, July 14 at 10/9c.
The sudden revival of the series comes 15 years after the sophomore season, which hit the network in 2010.
Those hoping to catch the return of the series can stream the premiere live through Philo (free trial), DirecTV (free trial) or Sling (50% off first month).
What is Life After People about?
For those unfamiliar with the series, Life After People provides an in-depth picture of a post-human future. Throughout the series, the fate of structures like the Sears Tower and the Sistine Chapel are revealed, and assumptions are provided about what creatures might inherit the places we once lived.
Supporting the visuals and special effects are interviews with specialists from the fields of engineering, botany, biology, geology and archaeology.
What to know about the upcoming premiere
Life After People season three consists of eight episodes, and the debut episode focuses on one of life’s most precious resources: water.
In a world without humans, water turns from that precious resource and life-giver to destroyer by flooding cities, collapsing dams and triggering ancient forces long kept at bay.
Other upcoming episodes in Life After People season three will focus on other environmental elements including urban jungles and deserts.
