The machine will be able to see more than 13 billion light-years into deep space, toward the first stars and galaxies in the universe, and will yield new data into the search for possible signs of life on planets outside of our solar system.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Hunt for Planet B<\/em> will premiere on CNN on November 20. The documentary will introduce viewers to the engineers, astronomers and other researchers involved in the mission through\u00a0cinema verit\u00e9 interviews and footage of their work and lives.<\/p>\n<p>Khan said: \u201cSince the beginning of time, we have wondered if we are alone in the universe. To be able to document the building of a machine that takes a giant step toward answering this question, and to get to know people who are dedicating their lives to this search, has been a high point of my career. This mission demonstrates that by working together, we can solve even the most complex problems that face us on this planet.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Amy Entelis, executive VP for talent and content development for CNN Worldwide, said: \u201cNathaniel and his team have crafted a film that prepares the viewer for one of the most thrilling and ambitious space adventures of our lifetime. The film reminds us of what can be accomplished when human curiosity harnesses the power of science to deepen our understanding of our planet and what\u2019s beyond.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CNN Films has picked up the domestic rights to The Hunt for Planet B, a documentary directed by Academy Award nominee Nathaniel Kahn, for broadcast on CNN.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1033,"featured_media":17122,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[173,3740,5871],"class_list":["post-17121","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-cnn","tag-cnn-films","tag-the-hunt-for-planet-b","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>CNN Films Acquires The Hunt for Planet B - TVREAL<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/cnn-films-acquires-the-hunt-for-planet-b\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"CNN Films Acquires The Hunt for Planet B - TVREAL\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"CNN Films has picked up the domestic rights to The Hunt for Planet B, a documentary directed by Academy Award nominee Nathaniel Kahn, for broadcast on CNN.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/cnn-films-acquires-the-hunt-for-planet-b\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVREAL\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2021-11-02T14:03:42+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2021-11-02T15:50:25+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2017\/07\/hunt-for-planet-b-cnn-films-1121.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"364\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"205\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Chelsea Regan\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Chelsea Regan\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/cnn-films-acquires-the-hunt-for-planet-b\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/cnn-films-acquires-the-hunt-for-planet-b\/\",\"name\":\"CNN Films Acquires The Hunt for Planet B - TVREAL\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2021-11-02T14:03:42+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2021-11-02T15:50:25+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#\/schema\/person\/2a2c6d8fb3c7c8b4220b8877ecffb79a\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/cnn-films-acquires-the-hunt-for-planet-b\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/cnn-films-acquires-the-hunt-for-planet-b\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/cnn-films-acquires-the-hunt-for-planet-b\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"CNN Films Acquires The Hunt for Planet B\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/\",\"name\":\"TVREAL\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#\/schema\/person\/2a2c6d8fb3c7c8b4220b8877ecffb79a\",\"name\":\"Chelsea Regan\",\"description\":\"Chelsea Regan is the managing editor of World Screen.
