A DECADE after its last appearance on screen Tribe’s return date has been confirmed – and there’s not long to go.
Bruce Parry made waves two decades ago as he immersed himself with 15 different tribal communities.

The show, which earned two BAFTA nominations for Best Factual Series, opened the world’s eyes to the traditions of remote tribes.
In 2007, he took on an even bigger challenge, spending a whole year journeying through the Amazon to uncover the environmental forces impacting the world’s largest rainforest and its people.
However, only three series of the hit programme were ever produced.
The show eventually scooped a BAFTA for Best Factual Series in 2009, solidifying Bruce’s reputation as one of the leading voices in immersive, investigative storytelling.
And now it’s big return has been confirmed as Bruce embarks on a brand new adventure.
Fans will see him on screen from Sunday, March 30th at 9pm on BBC Two.
The brand new series of Tribe will be a three-episode mini run as Bruce explores the communities who face real threat in today’s world.
Speaking about the comeback, Bruce said: “It’s been over twenty years since Tribe first aired. Living with people who experience the world in such profoundly different ways was eye-opening then, but today it feels vital.
“I believe we have so much to learn from those who still live in deep connection with the world around them.
“It feels a huge privilege that the BBC has allowed me to explore these places and themes once again.”
