The series is funded by General Electric, which has some interest in continuing innovation, and executive produced by Ron Howard. Each hour-long episode will be directed by a different person, such as Howard and Paul Giamatti, and tackle a new topic, as follows:
Episode 2: "More Than Human" about enhancing the human body
Episode 3: "Decoding the Brain" about mental disorders
Episode 4: "The Age of Aging" about expanding human lifespan
Episode 5: "Energy on the Edge" about clean, safe energy
Episode 6: "Water Apocalypse" about preventing a water crisis
The series covers a lot of territory. Addressing this variety, Ron Howard stated
While Alexander Graham Bell and Thomas Edison seem odd bedfellows, their infamous enmity actually benefited their inventiveness as each man sought to outdo the other. It seems fitting that their legacies will come together to celebrate and foster the creativity of other inventors and innovators who astound us every day with their ideas.

Clean water and solar power may not be as sexy as the light bulb or phonograph, yet they are more critical to our continued presence on this globe.
