"Blue Planet" is the Emmy-Award winning series that looks at life under the deep blue sea. It's back for a new season 17 years after the original aired in 2001. The producers sit down with Alyssa Julya Smith in Los Angeles to talk about the four-year production of the latest installment. Executive Producer James Honeyborne, Series Producer Mark Brownlow, and Producer Orla Doherty discuss the new digital technology that went into filming the new series and accessing some of the amazing findings. The new series, presented by Sir David Attenborough and scored by Academy Award-winner Hans Zimmer, has already become a major television event around the world. "Blue Planet II" took four years to film with 6,000 hours spent in the ocean to highlight some of the biggest scientific discoveries. The next installment of the Emmy-winning Planet Earth franchise will simulcast its premiere across BBC AMERICA, AMC, IFC, WE tv, and SundanceTV on Saturday, January 20th.

2021 proved to be yet another formidable year for Tesla.

Tesla was able to hit the trillion dollar valuation mark, increase vehicle deliveries even as the world grappled with supply chain and delivery issues and sign a major deal with Hertz this year.
