We had never made any television for anyone other than HBO. <\/span><\/p>\n \u201cRegimes change, budgets get different, attitudes towards what these networks want to do or not do change. But they\u2019re all very friendly. They were pushing us to develop this.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n He continued: \u201cWhen we finally came around to it and newer people were there and we started talking about budget, it was obvious they couldn\u2019t handle it, at least at that point in time. <\/span><\/p>\n \u201cAnd [fellow executive producer] Steven Spielberg said, \u2018Let\u2019s go to Apple TV+.\u2019 And so we did, and met with their two head guys there. And they said, \u2018Hey, just don\u2019t go over this number and we\u2019re with you. We\u2019ll do it.\u2019 And they did, and they\u2019ve been great.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n The first two episodes were released at once on Friday 26th January<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The nine-part miniseries will then drop a new episode every Friday until the final instalment arrives on 15th March.<\/span><\/p> Where to watch Masters of the Air online<\/strong><\/h2>\n
