‘When Nature Calls’ is based on a BBC Studios format.

ABC’s When Nature Calls explores the humorous things animals get up to in the wild, giving viewers insight on what animals are actually "saying" to each other — all while Helen Mirren narrates with the seriousness of typical nature shows. Though the narrator is not without her funny asides, too.

While the idea of the show seems original, it’s actually based on a BBC Studios format called Walk On the Wild Side, per Deadline. The show only aired two seasons on BBC One in the U.K., but it clearly made an impression.

The unscripted series is led by executive producers Ryan O’Dowd and K.P Anderson.

Although executive producer Ryan O’Dowd of BBC Studios and K.P Anderson of The Soup are the showrunners, per Deadline, the pair has help from some of Hollywood’s most talented producers. Brad Stevens and Boyd Vico also serve as head writers and executive producers.

And with Helen’s comedic nature and passion for animals, the show will deliver a super-funny yet educational approach.

“We're definitely going to learn, and we're going to see some beautiful, beautiful sites as well,” Helen told ABC News. "You know, the material is spectacular."
