Discovery Science to air ‘Through the Wormhole with Morgan Freeman’
MUMBAI: Discovery Science’s triple Emmy nominated hit series Through the Wormhole with Morgan Freeman is back for its sixth and most provocative season. Starting 4 July, the show will be aired every Saturday at 10 pm.
With a whole new look, an inspired set design and interactive features, the season 6 of the series will tackle tough topics such as race, religion and human future as a species, thus challenging viewers as never before.
From the topics of bigotry to whether our reality is virtual to the human proclivity for lying, the new season will challenge everything one knows about space, time and morality.
“I am thrilled to be announcing the premiere of the sixth season of Through the Wormhole. When we first began this journey, I never imagined how many questions could be examined and how far mankind could push the boundaries of what was possible,” said executive producer and host of the series Morgan Freeman.
“This season, we’ve given the series a bold new look and the questions are more provocative than ever. I know fans both old and new to the show will not be disappointed,” he added.
Each episode will feature leading experts, thinkers and scientists presenting groundbreaking theories. Every week viewers will be challenged to consider new perspectives and confronted with ideas that push the envelope of conventional television.
MUMBAI: India’s most famous hot seat is about to welcome an unlikely first-timer. For the first time on Hindi general entertainment television, industrialist Kumar Mangalam Birla will appear on Kaun Banega Crorepati, the iconic quiz show hosted by Amitabh Bachchan.
The special episode marks a rare meeting point of boardroom heft and prime-time television, bringing one of India’s most influential business leaders face to face with the country’s most enduring screen legend. It is a crossover that blends intellect, leadership and popular culture, all under KBC’s familiar spotlight.
Birla’s appearance dovetails neatly with the show’s current theme, Jahaan Akal Hai, Wahan Akad Hai, which celebrates the confidence that comes from clarity of thought and knowledge. His presence lends weight to the idea that sharp thinking and conviction are as vital in life as they are in the quiz chair.
In a thoughtful conversation with Bachchan, Birla shared an upbeat view of India’s economic journey, pointing to the nation’s rapid growth and the scale of opportunity opening up across industries and communities. He spoke of momentum, ambition and a future shaped by enterprise and ideas.
The episode is not all serious talk. In lighter moments, Birla confessed his long-standing admiration for Bachchan, calling him his favourite actor and admitting to a touch of nervousness at answering questions in front of the Shahenshah himself. The candour adds a human touch to a man more often seen in headlines than on television sets.
The special episode airs on Monday, 29 December at 9.00 pm on Sony Entertainment Television and Sony LIV.
