Steve Backshall said: “I’m thrilled to be bringing Deadly Live! back for 2026. I was blown away by the response from audiences last year – both the adults and the kids! And I’m delighted that we will be taking the show to many parts of the country that we couldn’t get to last time. We’ve got some amazing stunts and incredible experiments planned for this supersized show for all the family. Join me this autumn half term as we explore once again animals from 600 million years ago right through to modern day.”
Series seven of Deadly 60 launched on CBBC on 27 March and is available to watch on BBC iPlayer, along with all other series.
Deadly Live! is produced by Phil and Nigel McIntyre by arrangement with JSM Events and BBC Studios.
