Following the wildly successful "Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey," Neil deGrasse Tyson returns as host to translate more revelations of science into a lavish transporting experience, taking audiences on a series of spiritual voyages of exploration. The show reveals previously uncharted realms, including lost worlds, worlds yet to come, and the worlds that humans may one day inhabit. Ann Druyan, original creative collaborator to Carl Sagan, whose iconic docuseries "Cosmos" provided inspiration for this series, serves as executive producer alongside Seth MacFarlane.

In finding historical standard-bearers for this idea, "Cosmos" continues to draw strength from moving beyond the narrow scope of scientific heavyweights. Go to Full Review Victor Pineyro Seventh Art Studio 04/07/2022
9/10
The majesty of this Cosmos season is that nothing comes from nothing. All of its theories and hypothesis', come from science and the possibility of something. DeGrasse Tyson knows how to build excitement. Full review in Spanish Go to Full Review Glenn Garvin Reason Online 09/29/2020
It's got too many CGI special effects; too much distorting of voices and blurring images, giving the unsettling feeling of a bad 1960s movie about LSD... and, mostly, too much Tyson. Go to Full Review Melissa Camacho Common Sense Media 04/07/2020
5/5
Visually stunning existential explorations dig deep. Go to Full Review Dave Trumbore Collider 03/09/2020
4/5
A necessary next step in the continuing battle for more science communication in this modern world, even if it's held back by a less-than-cohesive narrative, a lack of urgency, and Tyson's struggle to live up to the legacy of Carl Sagan. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

02/09/2022 Another awe inspiring installment of cosmos! I don't understand why it wasn't marketed as season two, I think many people are missing this because it is labeled season one, but with a different subtitle "possible worlds". See more 01/18/2022 A thorough up-to-date digest of the science discoveries in fields of space exploration, biology, physics, anthropology and many more. A must see. See more Read all reviews
