Episode 5
It's the height of Summer in Dalby and Cropton Forests and the inhabitants are making the most of the abundance the warm weather provides. The forests are a hive of activity. Nowhere more so than the beaver pond. The young kits born earlier in the Summer are now starting to explore further afield. But we see how they are bonding with the rest of the family during one of the beavers' most important tasks: grooming. Keeping their thick fur in the best possible condition is vital, while also being a chance to get close to your nearest and dearest. For the kits it's not all about grooming – as nature's great lumberjacks, they will soon need to master the skill of tree chewing. Gnawing through bark is no easy task, but a beaver's famous two front teeth are the perfect tools for the job, and we witness them at work. The forest is a place that celebrates its recent history as we learn about the Lumberjills, the affectionate name given to the women who worked in the forest during World War Two as part of the Women's Timber Corps. The war brought with it an increased demand for timber building material, but with the nation's men fighting overseas, Dalby needed women to take up the saw. We meet some modern day forest heroes in the form of rescue dogs Ollie and Slate. The North York Moors National Park has over 1400 miles of paths and trails running through woods and across moorland. They are explored by eight million visitors every year and accidents can happen. In an emergency highly trained volunteers from the local mountain rescue team are called. Hoping to become part of the team is two-year-old Slate, who is undergoing a rigorous training programme. Will he pass the test?

Beyond the Gates
Beyond the Gates is set in a leafy Maryland suburb just outside of Washington D.C., and in one the most affluent African American counties in the United States. Here you'll find a posh gated community with winding tree-lined streets and luxurious mansions to call home. At the center of this community are the Duprees, a powerful and prestigious multi-generational family that is the very definition of Black royalty. But behind these pristine walls and lush, manicured gardens are juicy secrets and scandals waiting to be uncovered. And those that live outside these gates are watching closely. These are the places where our characters live, love, work and play. Those who have "made it" and those who haven't are all trying to navigate life … and some with more grace than others.
Yellowjackets
Yellowjackets follows a girls' high school soccer team. In 1975, the Dearborn High Yellowjackets became the first team in state history to qualify for the Girls' U.S. Soccer Championship Series in Manchester, NH. They never got the chance to compete. Equal parts survival epic, horror story and pitch black coming of age, Yellowjackets tells the story of the (un)lucky survivors of a plane crash deep in the Ontario wilderness, chronicling their descent from a friendly, cooperative team to warring, cannibalistic clans. At the same time, it follows the lives they've attempted to piece back together nearly twenty-five years later, proving that the past is never really past and what began out in the wilderness is far from over.
