This season's themes and topics include the technology competition between the US and China; equitable coronavirus vaccine distribution; continued monitoring of global pandemic hotspots; President Biden's approach to transatlantic and global alliances; conflict and change in the Middle East; data and privacy; immigration and refugee issues; and political developments in Latin America.

Last season, GZERO World hosted news-making interviews with Christine Lagarde, President of the European Central Bank, Jens Stoltenberg, NATO's Secretary General, and Kyriakos Mitsotakis, Prime Minister of Greece, among many others, and won a 2021 Telly Award in the Television – News Feature category for an episode filmed on location at the 2020 Munich Security Conference titled "The Biggest Global Security Threat."
