Bill Nye followed in the footsteps of Don “Mr. Wizard” Herbert in the early ’90s, using a TV show to introduce young audiences to the excitement and intrigue of scientific pursuits. Decades after his Bill Nye the Science Guy TV series, Nye remains a fixture of the scientific community, often using social media to help enlighten followers about pressing issues, though his new Peacock series The End Is Nye is exploring another teachable avenue. Given the troubling denial of science from people making important decisions about the planet, Nye both envisions worst-case scenarios of disasters the Earth could face, while also using his signature wit and wisdom to demystify such catastrophes, along with highlighting ways the viewer can take active preventative measures in hopes of avoiding such tragedies. The End Is Nye premieres on Peacock on August 25th.
