Description:
Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey is a 2014 American science documentary television series.
The show is a follow-up to the 1980 television series Cosmos: A Personal Voyage,
which was presented by Carl Sagan on the Public Broadcasting Service and is considered
a milestone for scientific documentaries. This series was developed to bring back the
foundation of science to network television at the height of other scientific-based
television series and films. The show is presented by astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson,
who was inspired by Sagan as a young college student. Among the executive producers are
Seth MacFarlane, whose clout and financial investment was instrumental in bringing the show
to broadcast television, and Ann Druyan, Sagan's widow and a co-creator of the original
series. The series loosely follows the same thirteen-episode format and storytelling approach
that the original Cosmos used, including elements such as the "Ship of the Imagination",
but features information updated since the 1980 series along with extensive computer-generated
graphics and animation footage augmenting the narration. The show is produced by Brannon
Braga, and Alan Silvestri provides the backing score. (Wikiperdia, 2014)
The series premiered on March 9, 2014, simultaneously in the US across ten 21st Century
Fox networks. The remainder of the series will air on Fox, with the National Geographic
Channel rebroadcasting the episodes the next night with extra content. The series has
been rebroadcast internationally in dozens of other countries by local National Geographic
and Fox stations.
