Many of you are too young to remember the original cosmic with Carl Sagan. It was nothing short of a revelation for millions. The re-boot of Cosmos – starring the wonderful Neil deGrasse Tyson – premieres on Sunday night at 9 p.m. EDT. It’ll continue to air on FOX Sunday nights and on National Geographic every following Monday night, along with bonus footage and behind the scenes content.
If you watch this three-minute long trailer without wanting to tune in to the whole series … well, you are made of sterner stuff than me.
Very classy to start with Sagan’s voice, by the way. Rock ’em, Neil!
Bottom line: The new Cosmos series with host Neil Tyson premieres on Sunday night at 9 p.m. EDT.
