Showrunner, executive producer and writer Ken Biller will continue his role overseeing the new season.<\/p>\n<p>The first season of <em>Genius<\/em>, which wrapped on Tuesday night, centered on Albert Einstein. Season one was watched by more than 45 million people around the world, and is National Geographic\u2019s best performing new series launch ever.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are thrilled with the enthusiastic response audiences and critics have had for <em>Genius<\/em> over the last nine weeks, and are excited to be delving back into the concept with season two,\u201d said CEO of National Geographic Global Networks, Courteney Monroe. \u201cMore so than any of his contemporaries, Picasso&#8217;s work dramatically expressed the modern\u00a0age and defined new cultural norms. We are excited to explore his life and his genius\u00a0with the\u00a0incredibly\u00a0talented team behind the series.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe remarkable story of artistic visionary Pablo Picasso is the perfect subject for season two of <em>Genius,<\/em>\u201d said Howard. \u201cPicasso was a trailblazer who left a profound artistic and cultural impact on the world and we look forward to continuing our successful partnership with National Geographic and Fox 21 Television Studios in telling the untold story behind the brilliant individual.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSeason one has been a fantastic experience for all of us, and we owe a big debt to Courteney, Carolyn and the Nat Geo team for being such great partners,\u201d commented Bert Salke, president of Fox 21 Television Studios. \u201cPicasso is arguably one of the most influential artists of the last century with a life story almost too fantastic to be reality. It\u2019s the perfect next chapter for Ron, Brian, Ken and this franchise.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>National Geographic has revealed that the second season of its scripted anthology series Genius will chronicle the life and work of celebrated artist Pablo Picasso.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":350,"featured_media":7913,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[70],"tags":[835,1940],"class_list":["post-7912","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-genius","tag-national-geographic","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
