| Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey, documentary series, premiere episode airs Sunday at 9 p.m. on Fox, National Geographic, FX, FXX, FXM, Fox Sports 1 and 2, Nat Geo Wild, Nat Geo Mundo and Fox Life. Subsequent episodes air at 9 p.m. Sundays on Fox and 10 p.m. Mondays on the National Geographic Channel.
It probably wouldn't have worked if someone had decided to remake Carl Sagan's "Cosmos: A Personal Voyage" series too much earlier than 34 years after the show made history on PBS with its focus on "billions upon billions of stars." That's because it made that much of an impact on popular culture - rather like a massive asteroid slamming into the Earth as the planet was forming after the Big Bang.
But the time is clearly right both to revisit the series and to give it the sheen that only contemporary film and graphic techniques can supply.
"Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey" will premiere Sunday across 10 U.S. networks: Fox, National Geographic, FX, FXX, FXM, Fox Sports 1 and 2, Nat Geo Wild, Nat Geo Mundo and Fox Life. After the premiere, the remaining 12 episodes will continue Sundays on Fox and Mondays, with additional footage and behind-the-scenes content, on the National Geographic Channel.
