BILL NYE SAVES THE WORLD Returns to Netflix For Third Season This May  Image

Bill Nye Saves The World Returns for a third season this May. Season three of the Emmy-nominated Netflix original series Bill Nye Saves The World launches globally on May 11.

In the six-episode third season, host Bill Nye brings leading experts and the world's brightest stars to his lab to explore scientific issues that touch our lives.

Nye tackles the truth behind evolution, how climate change will impact foods of the future, and what our pets can teach us about being human, with guests that include Arnold Schwarzenegger, Karlie Kloss, and Paul F. Tomkins. Michael Ian Black also returns with his comically angry "Mad Scientist" segment.

Michael Naidus, Julie Pizzi and Gil Goldschein serve as executive producers on the series. Bill Nye Saves the World is produced by Bunim-Murray for Netflix.

Episode 1: Evolution

Even people who "believe" in evolution may not understand it. Paul F. Tomkins joins Bill in an episode that explains why humans did not come from chimps and why we are not more evolved than a cockroach. (Btw, we know which came first: the chicken or the egg.)

Episode 2: Future food

With existing food sources threatened by climate change, farmers, ranchers, and even scientists are developing the foods of the future. Model Karlie Kloss visits Japan and comedian Margaret Cho gets into THE KITCHEN with Bill. You won't believe what's for dinner!

Episode 3: Cheating Death

Spoiler Alert: We're all going to die. But controversial technologies-like stem cells, head transplants, and 3D-printed organs-are extending our lives. We can really drag this thing out if we want to, but do we really want to live forever?

Episode 4: Addiction

Bill welcomes comedian Maria Bamford in an episode that asks the question - Is addiction a moral failing, a genetic predilection, or a product of your environment? Addiction ruins lives and costs society BILLIONS of dollars; can Science help us stop?

Episode 5: Water Wars

It may seem crazy, but we're running out of water. The Earth is covered with it, but very little of that is fresh, and only a tiny fraction of that is accessible. What can we do to avoid wars being fought over water?

Episode 6: What We Can Learn From Our Pets About Being Human

Are our brains unique, or do other creatures think and feel the way we do? Does your dog have a soul? What is your cat thinking? Hey human, maybe you ain't that special.
