In an ancient land a battle for survival plays out like a "Game of Thrones" episode, but the warring clans here are lions, leopards, hyenas and wild dogs. Set in the remote wilderness of Savute, Africa, "Savage Kingdom" is a rare look at rival animal factions fighting for decreasing resources in a parched region. Complete with brutal violence, unexpected deaths, surprising characters, and even romantic interludes, each episode is told from one predator's point of view. The result is a dramatic, character-driven story shot by award-winning Botswanan filmmaker Brad Bestelink. Emmy-nominated actor Charles Dance narrates the miniseries.

Three lionesses of the Northern Pride struggle to hold their ground, and to find food in the distant forests and hills; once a great family, their sons have been banished, and now they must rebuild their pride.

Led by a ruthless commander, the hyenas seize power from the lions; an exiled queen is hell-bent on winning back the throne for the Matahta Pride; Pula, the leopard, is forced to make a terrible choice between true love and her own future.

Trapped by rising floodwaters, Dikeledi, the cheetah, must teach her cubs lessons of survival; the clan of hyenas takes control, but the Makulu Pack will not tolerate its tyranny; the wild dogs' strength starts to crumble.

After the murder of one of its own, the Makulu Pack of wild dogs looks to a new leader for salvation; the Western Pride is exiled to the fringes of the kingdom as it fights to protect its cubs; the marauding hyena clan commits the cruelest of acts.
