0
If you’ve always thought the women are the most interesting characters on Game of Thrones, you may enjoy the Nov. 25 premiere of Nat Geo Wild’s Savage Kingdom — assuming you can handle the brutal reality, and heartbreak, of a lioness and a leopard struggling to further their bloodlines and hold their territory. Each two-hour episode, shot by award-winning Botswanan filmmaker Brad Bestelink and narrated by GoT‘s Charles Dance, is told from two animals’ perspectives. The premiere, “Clash of Queens,” follows lioness Matsumi, Queen of the Marsh Pride, as she tries to build her numbers for a looming battle, then Saba, a leopard known as the Phantom Assassin, who’s ready to have her first cubs.
