After hosting the successful television series Bill Nye the Science Guy back in the 90s, Bill Nye is returning to TV with a new Netflix-exclusive talk show that will make its debut in 2017.
The series, titled Bill Nye Saves the World, will provide an in-depth look at the impact science has on our society, culture and politics. According to Variety, each episode of the show will explore a specific topic from a scientific perspective and debunk the myths that surround it.
"Since the start of the Science Guy show, I’ve been on a mission to change the world by getting people everywhere excited about the fundamental ideas in science," Nye said in a statement. "I'm excited to be working with Netflix on a new show, where we’ll discuss the complex scientific issues facing us today, with episodes on vaccinations, genetically modified foods and climate change."
Bill Nye Saves the World is being produced by Bunim/Murray Productions, with Gil Goldschein and Julie Pizzi on board a executive producers. Michael Naidus is serving as showrunner and executive producer. Mike Drucker is on board as head comedy writer, and Phil Plait will serve as head science writer.
Last year, a film documentary about the popular scientist launched on Kicktarter, breaking crowdfunding records.
