Where to watch 'Planet Earth II' in Canada

The BBC nature documentary series Planet Earth II premiered on November 6, 2016 on British television. The Internet was abuzz with discussion about the fascinating scenery and sequence featured in the first episode.

The buzz left many non-Brits wondering how/when/where they could watch this Planet Earth series.

Unfortunately, no information has been released about a Canadian air date for Planet Earth II. CBC airing the original Planet Earth series  back in 2006, but there is no indication they have bought the rights for this new series. Canada's licensed BBC channel, BBC Canada, has also not indicated they will be airing Planet Earth II.
