The person who started it made a program. You still need a beefy GPU, patience, and lots of source material. Apparently it takes almost a day of the software 'learning' just to make a tiny 15 second clip and YMMV with results.
We've already had holograms and whatnot of dead celebrities, but these were done at a cost of millions USD by professional VFX companies (not to mention having permission). What makes deepfakes different is now you can make semi-believable ones on a home computer setup with only a little bit of prerequisite computer knowledge.
SFW example of the deepfake program being used on Princess Leia from Rogue One (SFW):
