Tyson explained the creative team considered many more stories than those that actually made it to air, but the ones that do – including the 13 episodes of the most recent season – had the best balance of science, human interest, visual effects, and compelling mission statements. The second season – or continuation as it's more so described – of Cosmos premiered in 2014, titled Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey, with the third installment, Cosmos: Possible Worlds premiering it's first two episodes on March 9, 2020, and with subsequent episodes being released in pairs every Monday starting at 8:00 pm EDT / 7:00 pm CDT / 5:00pm PDT on National Geographic Channel. Tyson explained the decision for Druyan also came from the rise of anti-science and climate change denials around the year 2010. The world was still held hostage by conflicts of political ideologies, and the cosmic perspective – something that Cosmos delivers magnificently – was something that as any astrophysicist knows, can completely change your outlook on the world. “She realized there were other challenges that civilization was facing, that differed from what we faced in 1980," Tyson said. The idea to continue the work of Carl Sagan with Cosmos was not previously planned but became a necessary continuation in the eyes of Ann Druyan, producer and writer on the show and wife of Sagan, as the current state of the world continues to shift over time.
