EXCLUSIVE:
Cosmos fans may have to wait longer for the second
Season of the science docuseries because of the ongoing
Investigation into sexual misconduct allegations against hostآ*
Neil deGrasse Tyson.
I hear that
Fox and National Geographic will likely postpone the
Season 2 premiere, currently slated for March 3. That date was set long before multiple new accusations against the famous astrophysicist/TV personality in late November prompted Fox, Nat Geo and the series producers
to launch an investigation. I hear the
Investigation is ongoing, and the networks want it to be completed before making a decision.
â??The credo at the heart of
Cosmos is to follow the evidence wherever it leads,â?* the showâ??s producers said in a statement to Deadline in November. â??The producers of
Cosmos can do no less in this situation. We are committed to a thorough
Investigation of this matter and to act accordingly as soon as it is concluded.â?*
Following the acclaim the 2014 revival of the classic Carl Sagan docuseries received, Fox and National Geographic ordered a second installment with
Tyson returning as host. In addition to
Cosmos,
Tyson hosts
StarTalk, also on Nat Geo, which was pulled off the air after the allegations surfaces and continues to be benched.
