More Wild Life for Tim Faulkner

Local wildlife and conservation series The Wild Life of Tim Faulkner has been renewed by Nine for a second season.

The WTFN series, which has screened on Sunday arvos, follows General Manager Tim Faulkner running Australian Reptile Park on the Central Coast.

The 20 part series will include hatching baby alligators, tagging rock wallabies, releasing turtles and introduce his young son Bill in the challenge of ‘how to train your Komodo dragon’.

Nine Network’s Director of Acquisitions, Hamish Turner says, “After a positive response to The Wild Life of Tim Faulkner (Series 1), we are pleased Tim has returned to the Nine Network for a second home grown series that continues to document his important conservation efforts to an Australian audience.”

Series 1 has also sold globally into over 160 territories in less than 12 months.

Distributor Fred Media’s General Manager, Michael Aldrich says, “We have been blown away with the success of Tim’s series in such a short time. It confirms that top quality productions with thoughtful story telling continue to resonate with audiences around the world. It is especially exciting to see a return season on the Nine Network.”

The new series will premiere later this month ahead of MIPCOM in Cannes.
