Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment is bringing executive producer Seth MacFarlane
Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey to Blu-ray. Hosted by renowned astrophysicist Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson, the 13-episode series follows in the footsteps of Carl Sagan's original televised study of the mechanics of the universe, and arrives on Blu-ray on June 10th.
Synopsis: More than three decades after the debut of
Cosmos: A Personal Voyage, Carl Sagan's stunning and iconic exploration of the universe as revealed by science, MacFarlane has teamed with Sagan's original creative collaborators -- writer/executive producer Druyan and co-writer, astronomer Steven Soter -- to conceive this 13-part series, which serves as a successor to the Emmy and Peabody Award-winning original series.
As with the legendary original series, the new
Cosmos is the saga of how we discovered the laws of nature and found our coordinates in space and time. The series brings to life never-before-told stories of the heroic quest for knowledge, transporting viewers to new worlds and across the universe for a vision of the cosmos on both the grandest and smallest scales.
