Cosmos Season 2: Possible Worlds

Seems to be quite different to the first season. I hope that we will see some animated things about old scientists and their discoveries because that was a great thing from season 1.

No premier date yet, but should be soon

Cosmos: Possible Worlds Official Trailer

 

This could be interesting -- how one would watch -- have to subscribe to National Geographic channel or have it bundled in some package of programming?

 

Brannon Braga(Star Trek, The Orville), Jason Clark(The Orville), Seth MacFarlane and Ann Druyan is once again producing/writing/directing.
And Neil DeGrasse Tyson is hosting of course.
Same team as last time.

 

Following the wildly successful COSMOS: A SPACETIME ODYSSEY, seen by more than 135 million people worldwide on National Geographic and FOX, and the most-watched series ever on National Geographic Channels internationally, the new season, COSMOS: POSSIBLE WORLDS, will premiere in the U.S. on both FOX and National Geographic and globally on National Geographic in 180 countries and 43 languages.

 

I was just wondering about Season 2 yesterday.

Is this a recent trailer? It only refers to "Spring 2019" and we're there now. It seems like the original plan was to air it in February 2019.

I thought maybe there was a delay due to Tyson's MeToo accusers. Was that resolved?

 

Yes it was set to premiere early March but it was postponed. But everythings been cleared, we're just waiting for the powers that be to set a new date.

 

I keep looking, but no premiere date yet.

 

Maybe it's been held back until the fall since summer is already here

 

Tyson's own "Star Talk" and "Cosmos" will continue as investigation ends.

New episodes of "Star Talk" have already been aired in recent weeks.

Neil deGrasse Tyson Will Return to National Geographic After Assault Investigation

 

“‘StarTalk’ will return to the air with the remaining 13 episodes in April on National Geographic, and both Fox and National Geographic are committed to finding an air date for ‘Cosmos,'” the network said in a statement. “There will be no further comment.”

DeGrasse-Tyson's first Cosmos series was one of the best damned TV series within recent memory -- I thought it was profound, thoughtful, and very entertaining. I really look forward to it coming back on the air for a new season.

 

I liked the Tyson series but have to admit I'd give my eyeteeth to see the original Sagan version with Vangelis and crappy animation.

 

Brannon Braga said in a recent podcast that an annoucment for the premiere of S2 is coming soon.

Will it stream a day or week early on Disney+ before it airs on TV? Who knows, but the delay has definitely something to do with Disney>Fox.

 

Depends on whether you are somebody who doesn't want it resolved, or you are somebody who wants an optimistic vision of a future "we can still have" (says Ann Druyan). Both are possible.
For me, I prefer not to have to navigate a he-said/she-said distraction while encouraging the best of our race pursuing the best of our abilities. And I really get spitting mad when one seeks to take our aspirations away, strategically and disingenuously debating the other.

So, I'm coming down on the side of following Tyson and his Cosmic Shoehorn wherever he wants to take us. That's the only direction forward.

 

Tyson was at Joe Rogan's show a week ago and didn't talk anything about Cosmos.
Sure, it can still come out this year but I'm thinking that it might have been delayed to next Spring

 

The "new" season will premiere on March 9 on the National Geographic Channel, and then in the "summer" on Fox. You can't read this article unless you subscribe to Skeptical Inquirer (I have the paper magazine but couldn't even log in myself to read it online):

Cosmos: Possible Worlds to Premier March 9, 2020 | Skeptical Inquirer

 

Yes, it's been known for a month or two that it's on for March 2020. I thought I made a post about it but now I see that I did not.

From Nov 7.
‘Cosmos: Possible Worlds’ to Premiere on National Geographic in 2020 — Exclusive

 

I'm having a hard time finding it. I installed the Nat Geo app on AppleTV, but it only has trailers, and there's a message to watch it on Disney+. I have a free year of that, so I checked there - it's not there at all. I looked OD on FiOS, and it's not OD. I've scheduled the DVR to record the series, but only upcoming episodes (starting with episode 3) are scheduled. There are no replays of 1 and 2 scheduled. On the Nat Geo website, the trailers are found, but nothing else.

How can I stream the series or watch the first two episodes? Thanks.

 

I see that it's available for purchase on Apple TV and streaming on the National Geographic TV channel. Thanks for the reminder.

 

Thanks for the info. I should be able to get it free because the channel is part of my FiOS package, so I shouldn't have to pay for it. As noted, it's not available via the channel app nor the channel website. Where do you see it available to stream? Thanks again.

 

It's part of my cable tv package.

 

Thanks. Maybe there's a different streaming arrangement in US vs. Canada. No major disaster; I'm sure they'll repeat the first two episodes eventually and I'll catch them then.

 

I'm seven episodes in and it's pretty good, but a big step behind the first season.

 

I got tired of waiting for the first two episodes to re-air, and watched the third episode last night. So far, I agree with you. Tyson looks stiff and awkward, for some reason. I don't remember that in the first season.

But, I learned several new things, which is always good.

 

The first 6 episodes of Possible Worlds are available on Tubi (free to watch with ads). The entire 2014 series is there also.

I like what I’ve seen so far (of Possible Worlds), but it feels a bit more scattershot and unfocused than its predecessor. The episode on Vavilov is my favorite so far.
