Filming

Vox Media planned to have ten weeks to work on each episode; however, the first episode was rushed to be released in two-and-a-half weeks due to the prevalence of the COVID-19 pandemic. They had already interviewed Bill Gates for an episode in season 2 of Explained called "The Next Pandemic" before the pandemic began, and Vox Media ended up using some of that footage for their first episode.[2]

Release

The trailer for the mini-series was released on April 22, 2020.[3] The first episode was released on April 26, 2020, with the second and third episode being released on June, 16 2020.[2]
