Blizzard Entertainment has unveiled World of Warcraft: Planet Azeroth, a new three-part comedic nature documentary series starring the voice and in-game character of comedian, actor and musician Bill Bailey.
The series has been created to celebrate the launch of World of Warcraft: Forever - a new World of Warcraft game set in a reimagined Azeroth inspired by the original game, where the world itself is the main character and every road leads to a new adventure.
Bill Bailey says: "I've always been fascinated by the natural world, but nothing quite prepares you for Azeroth. The creatures are extraordinary, the landscapes are stunning and, unlike many other nature documentaries I’ve been involved in, I managed to stay dry and not get bitten by something. It was enormous fun exploring this strange and wonderful world."
For the series, Bailey has been transformed into his very own World of Warcraft Dwarven adventurer, and across the three episodes, guides viewers through some of Azeroth's most iconic regions, from the forests of Elwynn to the frozen wilderness of Winterspring.
Traversing Azeroth's wildest corners, Bailey presents a documentary-gone-rogue with Murlocs, Kobolds and many more of the world's most fascinating inhabitants, armed with little more than his trademark curiosity and razor-sharp wit.
Holly Longdale, executive producer of World of Warcraft said: "For more than 20 years, players have fallen in love with Azeroth itself - its landscapes, mysteries, creatures, and the stories hidden around every corner. World of Warcraft: Forever is our chance to revisit that world through fresh eyes and World of Warcraft: Planet Azeroth captures that spirit perfectly. Bill's curiosity, humour, and genuine sense of wonder make him the ideal guide to a world that has been home to millions of players, while also providing a warm introduction for those discovering Azeroth for the very first time."

Episode 2 will be published on 31 October and Episode 3 on 8 November.
