Seth MacFarlane to update Carl Sagan's Cosmos for Fox
Seth MacFarlane’s gradual takeover of all Fox programming continues, as the network has green-lit Cosmos: A Space-Time Odyssey, both an update of and successor to the PBS series in which Carl Sagan outlined the vast history of the universe, in open defiance of the Story of Creation. The new 13-episode series—which will mark MacFarlane’s fifth project at Fox, after his recently announced remake of The Flintstones—is co-produced by Sagan’s widow, writer-producer Ann Druyan, as well as astrophysicist Steven Soter, with MacFarlane contributing all the hilarious cutaways to God yelling, “Wrong!” See, because that’s the sort of thing that MacFarlane’s shows usually do.
