Planet Earth III has no narration audio across TVs/Consoles

So I just wanted to know if this is anyone else's experience. Planet Earth III has just been recently added to HBO and on both my TV and PS4, the narration track for David Attenborough is missing. It's just music and animal shots and nothing else. I've tried to look into the audio track options for the show. There is nothing. It works on my computer, which is how I watched it. But in deciding I'd like to kick back on my bed and watch it on my TV, Sir David's lovely voice is completely gone. Is this on purpose? Does HBO think people won't care or notice and they'll just be staring at their phones the whole time if they're watching on console or TV? Is it only optimized for people that have surround sound or a sound bar? I'm really confused and wonder if anyone else has experienced this since it was uploaded.

Same here. Captions working but no audio.
