COSMOS is officially returning for another season.

And yes, everyone's favorite astrophysicist, Neil deGrasse Tyson, will be hosting. The season will air in spring 2019 on FOX and Nat Geo.

Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane will serve as executive producer of the show, just as he did when it was revived back in 2015. It featured plenty of mind-blowing science facts, animated history lessons, and Tyson riding around in a weird silver spaceship.

While you wait for the next season, enjoy this gem from Carl Sagan, the beloved astronomer who first brought COSMOS to life in 1980.
