Season 2
After making it through a year of triumph and tragedy, the Whiskers mob of meerkats is back to continue another season of love, intrigue and drama on the African plains.
Narrated by Bill Nighy, Season 2 of the critically-acclaimed series features more adventures of the Whiskers family, as they are joined by a new cast of friends... and enemies.
Each episode of the 13-part season follows the real-life soap opera dramas of this zany group of meerkats as they fight for power, dominance and survival in Africa's Kalahari Desert.
Don't let their cuddly appearance fool you though - there's a good reason these meerkat families are called a 'mob'.
From family quarrels to love affairs to backstabbing worthy of a Shakespearean tale, these fuzzy reality-TV stars pack a huge dramatic punch.
The show is narrated by Bill Nighy in the UK and Canada, Mike Goldman in Australia, and Sean Astin (Seasons 1-3) and Stockard Channing (4-) in the USA.
