The Cove Becomes a Series

Hot off an Academy Award win, dolphin-slaughter documentary The Cove is slated to become an Animal Planet show. Tentatively named Dolphin Warriors, the series will pick up where The Cove left off, filming activist Ric O’Barry and his team as they continue to expose the dolphin slaughter occurring in Taiji, Japan. Since the filming of the documentary, O’Barry has followed the Japanese fishermen driving the dolphins out of the cove and into an artificial cove made of nets, where the fishermen hope to escape detection and minimize the risk of being documented. While a premiere date for the show has not been set, fans can expect the series to begin in fall 2010, after The Cove makes its television debut on Animal Planet this summer.
