Netflix Debuts Trailer for 'Bill Nye Saves the World,' Streaming Premiere Set for April 21

The upcoming science themed talk show will start streaming in April.

Netflix has released a trailer for its latest original series, 'Bill Nye Saves the World.' The talk show will be hosted by scientist, engineer, comedian, author, and inventor, Bill Nye.

"Since the start of the Science Guy show, I've been on a mission to change the world by getting people everywhere excited about the fundamental ideas in science," said Bill Nye. "Today, I'm excited to be working with Netflix on a new show, where we'll discuss the complex scientific issues facing us today, with episodes on vaccinations, genetically modified foods and climate change. With the right science and good writing, we'll do our best to enlighten and entertain our audience. And, perhaps we'll change the world a little."

Bill Nye – science guy, educator, mechanical engineer, and curator of curiosity – returns with a new show. Each episode of Bill Nye Saves the World tackles a specific topic or concept through lively panel discussions, wide-ranging correspondent reports from a crackerjack team, and Bill’s very special blend of lab procedure and sly personality.
