National Geographic Channel has taken the wraps off a pair of specials to surround its upcoming limited series Valley of the Boom, greenlighting the two-hour special Inside the Internet and six-part docu-series 1989: The Year That Made the Modern Word.
The new specials, unveiled today during Nat Geo’s portion of summer TCA, will act as companions to Valley of the Boom, STXtv’s ensemble drama from Matthew Carnahan that charts the meteoric rise and cataclysmic burst of the dot-com bubble. Bradley Whitford, Steve Zahn and Lamorne Morris lead the cast of the six-part series, which is aiming for a winter premiere.
Inside the Internet will explore the ways the web has changed the very fabric of our society in the past five decades, highlighted by interviews with the founders of AOL, Craigsist, Friendster, Match.com and Tinder. Brian Lovet and Cheryl Horner of National Geographic Studios are producing, with Betsy Forhan exec producing.
