GMC and A&E Networks just announced the premiere of a new documentary that follows the development of the much-anticipated all-electric supertruck.

The hour-long production allows audiences to follow a small group of General Motors staff, over approximately a two-year period, where they helped conceive the automaker’s first EV in the segment. The film crew were granted rare behind-the-scenes access to key points of the vehicle’s development.
