It is produced by Ron Howard and Brian Grazer.[1] All of the episodes are directed by guest directors such as Friday Night Lights creator Peter Berg, actors Paul Giamatti and Angela Bassett, screenwriter Akiva Goldsman and director Brett Ratner.[1]
The series covers current scientific "breakthroughs" in the present day, such as, fighting pandemics, robotics, and aging.
On the inspiration, Grazer said on the Nerdist Podcast he wanted something like the ESPN documentary series 30 for 30 but for science
