    "Kingdom"
    LONDON -- (SPW) --

    Acclaimed composer Segun Akinola has composed the original score for the BBC Studios Natural History Unit’s latest series, Kingdom, bringing a rich, emotionally resonant soundscape to the breathtaking visuals of the natural world.

    Akinola, known for his bold, cinematic compositions, describes working on Kingdom as an exciting career highlight.

    “Working with the world-class BBC Studios Natural History Unit on Kingdom has been a real joy,” Akinola said. “What made it extra special was going to record singers and musicians in Zambia, then combining their efforts with the talents of the BBC National Orchestra of Wales and other fantastic musicians. I can’t wait for everyone to hear the results!”

    Blending traditional Zambian musical elements with orchestral grandeur, Akinola’s score reflects the beauty, drama, and cultural richness of the series. His work captures not only the majesty of nature but also the deep connection between the landscape and the animal families who call it home.

    Kingdom is set to premiere on BBC One and iPlayer, and will also be available internationally via BBC Studios. Kingdom will premiere on BBC AMERICA and AMC+ in 2026.

    About Segun Akinola
    Segun Akinola is a BAFTA Breakthrough Brit composer whose diverse body of work spans film, television, and classical music. Best known for his work on Doctor Who, Akinola continues to push the boundaries of contemporary scoring, infusing his compositions with cultural depth and emotional nuance.

    Morgan & Morgan’s “Power Move” Campaign Makes A Splash With a Merman Lifeguard

    Monday, August 3, 2026
    Still image from "Merman"

    Morgan & Morgan continues its unique, comedic approach to legal advertising with the latest installment of its national “Power Move” campaign. The firm's newest spot “Merman,” dives headfirst into the absurd and surfaces with the same sharp wit that has defined the campaign from the start.   The spot opens at a public pool, zooming in on the unlikely lifeguard on duty. He watches over the pool with the calm confidence of someone who was literally born for this job. The twist: he’s a merman. When a woman suddenly finds herself in “distress”, the merman lifeguard springs into action, diving into the pool and cutting effortlessly through the water to her rescue. Equal parts heroic and completely unhinged, the spot closes with the merman gliding her to safety followed by a perfectly timed dolphin call.   The campaign’s trademark closer quickly follows: “Having a merman as your lifeguard is a power move. Hiring America's largest injury law firm after an injury? That's a power move, too.” Read More
