Tyson said the series is "a very hopeful vision of what we can do if we're enlightened enough." Druyan has expressed the hope that "If we start listening to what the scientists are telling us, we can get out of this horrible mess that we've created for ourselves." Druyan was awarded the National Geographic Further Award by the 2020 Sun Valley Film Festival for her work on Cosmos. The tone of the series has been described as optimistic. The universe that science reveals is so much more amazing than our ancestors could ever have anticipated, because they had never seen the curtain of darkness peeled away … and actually seen the vastness and began to know something of just how big it all is." And every one of them was about having a somewhat deeper sense of the romance of being alive in the Cosmos, and the beauty of nature. For me, science and skepticism were the means to have the greatest spiritual experiences of my life. You don't have to have one at the expense of the other … an equal measure of both always. I'm very proud of that line, because that's the point. Regarding a line she wrote for episode 1: "Our ship of the imagination is propelled by twin engines of skepticism and wonder" Druyan said: Druyan also stated that, due to current events, she was motivated "by a greater sense of urgency" when writing the new series as compared to the previous series. ĭruyan expects the series to be inspiring, with a strong emphasis on a hopeful future, and she hopes that the series will help correct antiscience rhetoric and policies. The series premiered in early March 2020 in the United States on the National Geographic Channel and was scheduled to air on Fox afterwards, as well as in 172 other countries. National Geographic and Fox completed their investigation and cleared Tyson of the allegations by March 15, 2019, and affirmed that Cosmos would resume at some point. Both National Geographic and Fox stated they would investigate these allegations, and indefinitely postponed the premiere of Cosmos on February 15, 2019. However, from December 2018 through February 2019, Tyson became the subject of sexual harassment allegations. This 13-episode sequel series was slated to premiere on March 3, 2019, on Fox, and the following day on National Geographic. The studio portions were filmed at Santa Fe Studios with plans for location shooting in the Pacific Northwest, Europe, and Asia. On January 13, 2018, it was announced that another season titled Cosmos: Possible Worlds would debut in 2019 on Fox and National Geographic channels, to be hosted by Neil deGrasse Tyson and executive produced by Ann Druyan, Seth MacFarlane, Brannon Braga, and Jason Clark.
