Kelly Souders and Brian Peterson return as executive producers and showrunners for this next installment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe gripping, propulsive story of the hunt for the anthrax killer who terrorized the country in the dark days that followed the September 11 attacks couldn\u2019t be more timely,\u201d said Carolyn Bernstein, executive VP of global scripted content and documentary films. \u201cAs the world battles COVID-19, another deadly and mysterious virus, <em>The Hot Zone: Anthrax<\/em>\u00a0is a scientific thriller for our time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile many of us can recall the breaking news headlines and the widespread fear that ensued when anthrax emerged in America, there are still layers to this story that have not yet been told,\u201d said Souders. \u201cThe second season of our anthology series will dive deep into the forensic investigation of a simple envelope that sent the entire Eastern Seaboard into a panic.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfter a terrific collaboration with our friends at National Geographic on <em>The Hot Zone<\/em>, we couldn\u2019t be more excited to be back in business with the same stellar team for another season,\u201d said David W. Zucker, president of Scott Free Television. \u201cAll of us well remember the anthrax attacks in 2001, which rocked and terrified the country. We\u2019re eager to tell this extraordinary story of all the drama that unfolded to overcome the attacks and identify the perpetrator.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>National Geographic has greenlit The Hot Zone for a second season, which will focus on the anthrax attacks of 2001.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":350,"featured_media":14071,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[70],"tags":[1940,4178],"class_list":["post-14070","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-national-geographic","tag-the-hot-zone","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
