Streaming-network Peacock announced a new series starring Bill Nye, “The End is Nye,” a look at global disasters.
The show will send Nye into natural and unnatural disasters, where he will use science to explain how people can survive, mitigate and possibly prevent the disasters.
Set to premiere on Thursday, Aug. 25, Peacock released the first piece of artwork for the show on Friday.
Using the tagline, “When the world ends, his job begins,” the artwork shows Nye adjusting his trademark bowtie on a flooded street, in front of a tornado and meteors.
Nye, who started his career as an engineer for Boeing in Seattle, moved on to performing science sketches on the Seattle show “Almost Live!”
Next Nye pitched a “Mr. Wizard”-style show to KCTS in Seattle, where “Bill Nye the Science Guy” was born, running for six seasons and over 100 episodes.
“Bill Nye the Science Guy” would be nominated for 23 Emmy Awards, winning 19.
“The End is Nye” is produced by Brannon Braga, Bill Nye and Seth McFarlane.
