Many of you will recall this excited bit of writing from July of last year:
If you’re as big a fan of Carl Sagan’s Cosmos: A Personal Voyage mini-series as I am, which is only the most widely watched PBS series in the world, then you’re probably well aware of the fact that an all new version, Cosmos – A Spacetime Odyssey, hosted by renowned astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson, has been in the works.
Well, while I haven’t been able to find an exact premiere date for the new show, they have released its first official trailer – an awesome spectacle in its own right!
Well my friends, after reading the Rebooting ‘Cosmos’: Neil DeGrasse Tyson Explains Why Iconic TV Series Returns in 2014 article on Space.com yesterday, and then following that with a little searching around, I am as pleased as punch to bring you this update to my previous post! 😀
First, there’s this nicely revised version of the series trailer…
Then this cool discussion at New York Comic Con, featuring Neil DeGrasse Tyson and the show’s producers: Ann Druyan (Sagan’s widow), Brannon Braga and Mitchell Cannold, on why they thought the timing was right for a new version and what they hope it will mean for a new generation of viewers…
Then there’s this awesome image from the new FOX website for the show…
And last, but most certainly not least, a Sunday, March 9, 9pm premiere date for the show!

Very exciting Alex. Considering the unreliability of my cable signals lately, I’m thinking I’ll record both the Fox and the National Geographic Channel broadcasts! 😀
