New Bill Nye show in the works at Peacock

Last Updated on August 5, 2021

Get ready to have your minds blown all over again with some help from Bill Nye the Science Guy!

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 (Family Guy, The Orville) 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. 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.

Science rules, and so does the theme song for Bill Nye the Science Guy! Don't believe me? Check out the clip below and find out for yourself:

As someone who is married to a microbiologist, and a Lab Health and Safety Coordinator at that, you can bet that Bill Nye gets big respect in our house. I've no doubt that The End is Nye will get some big play around these parts and isn't it about time that a series like this exists? You can deny that our planet is going to Hell in a handbasket if you want, but evidence would suggest otherwise. Personally, I'd like to know what I can do to help, and if Bill Nye wants to tell me, I'll certainly lend him an ear or two.

Brannon Braga (Cosmos: Possible Worlds, Star Trek) will serve as showrunner and executive producer for The End is Nye, in addition to directing all the episodes. The series is produced by Universal Television Alternative Studio and UCP, divisions of Universal Studio Group, and Fuzzy Door.

Bill Nye also serves as executive producer and is represented by Nick Pampenella at N/PRJCTS. Rachel Hargreaves-Heald is the executive in charge of production for Fuzzy Door.
