‘Cosmos’ TV Trailer: Seth McFarlane And Neil deGrasse Tyson Reboot Carl Sagan’s Science Show

Seth MacFarlane (Family Guy, Ted) wanted to reboot the show, and has worked with original Cosmos writer and producer Ann Druyan (also Sagan’s widow) on a new 13-episode series hosted by astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson.
The first new Cosmos trailer was released at Comic Con — for the show which bears the full title Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey — and it looks fantastic. Check out the footage below.
Watch this one in HD if you can, because it is beautiful.
That’s a good nod to the original show, and also something that looks more like Doctor Who filtered through Terrence Malick’s The Tree of Life than a show you’d expect to see from MacFarlane. The footage is dynamic and very eye-catching; let’s hope the content is as interesting.
Compare that to the original series intro:
Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey premieres in 2014.
