UK production company Blink Films has landed a two-part PBS commission, in which it will explore the secret lives of cats and dogs. The documentaries will also air on BBC Four in the UK.
The indie will make 60-minute films Dog Tales and Cat Tales for PBS’s science strand Nova. It will include interviews with geneticists, animal behavior experts, archaeologists, vets and scientists to unravel the history of the species and their relationship with humans.
The documentaries build on Blink’s recent Disney+ order to make natural history series Meet The Chimps. It is one of the first UK indie’s to secure a commission from the streamer and the six-part show will use innovative filming techniques to get close to the animals.

Disney+ is making a significant push into nonfiction territory. Led by its revival of “The Quest” — a fantasy reality-competition show starring teen participants — the company announced a slew of other nonfiction projects at the RealScreen Summit in New Orleans Wednesday.
ABC’s original “The Quest” series aired one season in 2014. In its original format, the show featured a scripted storyline and had contestants interact with actors, but the competitive challenges were unscripted. Like the original series, the Disney+ “Quest” show will be filmed at a castle near Vienna, Australia and mix scripted fantasy elements with unscripted competitions.
The original “Quest” series’ production team is coming back for the Disney+ revival: The upcoming series will be executive produced by Court Five’s Mark Ordesky (“The Lord of the Rings”) and Jane Fleming; Scout Productions’ David Collins, Michael Williams, Rob Eric (“Queer Eye”); and New Media Collective’s Bertram van Munster, Elise Doganieri...
