Curiosity
From the visionary mind of Discovery's iconic founder John Hendricks comes Curiosity, an unprecedented landmark event series that brings the ‘I wonder?’ moment to television with a unique blend of eclectic and provocative subjects.
Curiosity fearlessly dives into a world of questions posed by well-known personalities including horror master, auteur director Eli Roth testing the nature of evil, Academy Award® winner Morgan Freeman investigating the possibility of a parallel universe, Maggie Gyllenhaal exploring why women orgasm, Lost and Avatar star Michelle Rodriguez asking how we might survive an alien attack, MythBusters’ Adam Savage testing if we can really live forever, award-winning filmmaker Morgan Spurlock seeing if living as a primitive caveman would actually improve our health and Dirty Jobs’ Mike Rowe revealing the hidden live organisms that call our bodies home.
Each episode will focus on a single enduring question relating to science, technology or society. From the micro to the macro, insightful questions are tackled such as: is time travel really possible; could you find out exactly how you are going to die and would you want to know; are some people genetically prone to violence; why is it that we dream and is fear healthy?
Curiosity promises a television experience unlike any other as big names tackle these big questions and, Discovery goes to extremes to uncover answers that will surprise even the most curious among us.
