Nat Geo Gives Second Season to The Story of God with Morgan Freeman

WASHINGTON, D.C.: National Geographic Channel has greenlit a second season of The Story of God with Morgan Freeman, which will return in 2017.

The new episodes will again take viewers on a trip around the world in search of answers to some of the great questions of the universe through the lens of the world’s major religions, science, anthropology and archaeology. Topics in season two include “Is There a Chosen One?,” “Proof of God” and “Heaven and Hell.” Executive producers are Freeman, Lori McCreary and James Younger of Revelations Entertainment.

The Story of God with Morgan Freeman will air globally in early 2017 on National Geographic Channels in 171 countries in 45 languages, and in Spanish on Nat Geo Mundo.

“Viewers around the globe responded in incredible ways to the first season of The Story of God, and we could not be happier to be teaming up once again with Morgan, Lori and James at Revelations to bring audiences more of what they love,” said Tim Pastore, NGC’s president of original programming and production. “This series is emblematic of the type of programming National Geographic Channel will continue to bring to the table—shows not only with great creative talent, but also that are thought-provoking and insightful.”

“I had quite a journey last season, but not just in miles covered,” said Freeman. “I met incredible people who opened my eyes and my mind to new ideas and new ways of thinking about faith, the world and all of humanity. I barely scratched the surface of what we can learn, and I’m looking forward to continuing this search for the meaning of life and religion and everything in between.”
