Cosmos Remake Coming To Fox In 2014

Posted by timothy on from the cool-swirly-spooky-music dept.

TheSync writes "The long-awaited remake of Carl Sagan's amazing Cosmos series, Cosmos: A Space-Time Odyssey, will be coming to Fox television next year. It will star astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson. Surprisingly, Seth MacFarlane of Family Guy fame is an executive producer. MacFarlane was introduced to Carl Sagan's widow Ann Druyan by deGrasse Tyson, and MacFarlane helped them pitch the show to Fox executives."

    There's also been quite a lot of new physics and cosmology since 1980. We have Hubble. We have the CMB. We have all kinds of other interesting things...! Tyson is perfect for this. His enthusiasm is infectious (if you've listened to any of his audio books).
