Genius (10x60') reveals how Albert became Einstein, exploring his extraordinary professional achievements along with his volatile, passionate and complex personal relationships
Though his scientific endeavors continue to inspire awe, few know the entire story of the tumultuous private life of the 20th century’s most brilliant icon, Albert Einstein.
Premiering Tuesday, April 25, at 9/8c, National Geographic’s new 10-part global event series, Genius (10×60′)— the network’s first scripted series — reveals how Albert became Einstein, exploring his extraordinary professional achievements along with his volatile, passionate and complex personal relationships.
From Fox 21 Television Studios, whose recent The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story dominated every awards contest and critics’ list; Imagine Television, the producer of 24 and Friday Night Lights; and OddLot Entertainment, which earlier this year produced the Academy Award- nominated film Hell or High Water, the series is based on Walter Isaacson’s book Einstein: His Life and Universe and is executive produced by Brian Grazer, Ron Howard and Gigi Pritzker, with Howard making his scripted television directorial debut with the first episode.
Featuring Einstein’s lovers, enemies and fellow scientific luminaries, the all-star cast includes Geoffrey Rush (The Kings Speech, Pirates of the Caribbean, Shine) as the celebrated titular scientist, Johnny Flynn (Clouds of Sils Maria) as Albert in the years before he rose to international acclaim and Emily Watson (Theory of Everything, The Book Thief) as his second wife — and first cousin — Elsa Einstein.
Genius tracks Einstein’s rise from humble origins as an imaginative, rebellious thinker, through his struggles to be recognized by the establishment, to his global celebrity status as the man who unlocked the mysteries of the cosmos with his theory of relativity. Delving deeper, the series follows Einstein’s alternately exhilarating emotions and heartlessness in dealing with his closest personal relationships, including his children, his two wives and the various women with whom he cheats on them.
