Nat Geo Heads to New Heights with 'Cosmos' Licensing Program

National Geographic is gearing up to reach the stars with a new licensing program based on the popular series “Cosmos” featuring Neil deGrasse Tyson.

The upcoming licensing program will aim to bring the franchise closer to fans through categories including location-based entertainment, apparel, accessories, gifts, bags, stationery, puzzles, games and calendars.

The new program also comes ahead of the series second season, “Cosmos: Possible Worlds,” which will debut in spring 2019 in the U.S. on both Fox and National Geographic as well as globally on National Geographic in 171 countries and 43 languages.

To coincide with the new series, National Geographic Books will publish the companion book Cosmos: Possible Worlds by Ann Druyan, which will serve as a follow up to Carl Sagan’s Cosmos: A Personal Voyage.
