A new CNN documentary series that examines the 2003 Space Shuttle disaster is the latest effort by the Warner Bros. Discovery-backed outlet to help its original-production arm regain momentum. “Space Shuttle Columbia: The Final Flight” relies on footage that has never been broadcast before as well as exclusive interviews. CNN in 2022 chose to pull back on production of the original series and films that became staple of its programming over the past decade. The series examines how financial pressures and a culture of complacency may have contributed to the events of February 1, 2003 disaster. “Space Shuttle Columbia: The Final Flight” is executive produced by Emma Tutty and Emma Whitehead for Mindhouse, and Amy Entelis and Lyle Gamm for CNN Original Series.
