Peacock has ordered the science series THE END IS NYE, hosted and executive produced by Emmy Award winner and renowned science educator, engineer, author, and inventor Bill Nye. The series is produced by Universal Television Alternative Studio and UCP, divisions of Universal Studio Group, and Seth MacFarlane’s (“The Orville,” “Family Guy,” and “Ted“) Fuzzy Door.
THE END IS NYE sends Bill Nye into the most epic global disasters imaginable – both natural and unnatural – and then demystifies them using science to show how we can survive, mitigate, and even prevent them.
Brannon Braga (“Cosmos: Possible Worlds,” “Star Trek“) will serve as showrunner and executive producer and direct all episodes.
Each episode takes a hell-bent dive into the mystery and reality of its threats, from viruses to volcanoes, asteroids to authoritarianism, and climate change to chemical warfare. Every worldwide catastrophe is abundant with thrills but also hope and a way forward. THE END IS NYE offers a scientific blueprint for surviving anything that comes our way.
THE END IS NYE is produced by Universal Television Alternative Studio and UCP, divisions of Universal Studio Group, and Fuzzy Door. Seth MacFarlane and Erica Huggins executive produce for Fuzzy Door. Brannon Braga serves as showrunner, director and executive producer. Bill Nye also serves as executive producer and is represented by Nick Pampenella at N/PRJCTS.
