Imagine Entertainment’s Brian Grazer, Ron Howard and Michael Rosenberg are on a mission to explore Mars with “Red Planet,” a National Geographic Channel event series that they are executive producing.
“Red Planet” is set in both 2032 and the present day and is described as a hybrid of both scripted and unscripted elements as it chronicles the first manned mission to Mars as well as the mission to colonize Earth’s neighboring planet.
In addition to Grazer, Howard and Rosenberg, the project is also exec produced by Justin Wilkes and Dave O’Connor of RadicalMedia. Robert Palumbo will exec produce for NGC, where Alan Eyres is senior v.p. of development and Tim Pastore is president of original programming and production.
