Apple TV+’s Prehistoric Planet uses visual effects and the latest paleontology research to show viewers how dinosaurs lived 66 million years ago.

The streaming service took the same art meets science approach ahead of the launch of the show’s second season Monday, by enlisting landscape artist David Popa to create murals depicting the creatures in the areas where they once lived.

“As a kid, I would skip school on my birthday with my dad and go to the Museum of Natural History in New York City, where I grew up,” Popa told Adweek.
