The long-running History Channel series is arguably the most famous television program to discuss the Anunnaki. In Season 1, Episode 3, titled "The Mission," it explores the theory that ancient Sumerian tablets describe an alien race who came to Earth to mine for gold and created a new breed of men to aid them. The show has also dedicated episodes like "The Anunnaki Connection" (Season 6, Episode 3) to this topic.

In recent years, several new projects have emerged that utilize the Anunnaki theme, often fueling confusion about whether they are the "original" suppressed film.
