Developed by Noah Pink (seasons 1–2), Ken Biller (seasons 1–2), and Suzan-Lori Parks (season 3), ‘Genius’ is a docudrama anthology series that was launched on the National Geographic Channel in April 2017. Each season follows prominent historical figures based on their early and later years. 

The series has so far produced a total of three seasons. The fourth season is expected to air sometime in 2023 while many are curious whether the docudrama will return with a fifth run although it seems to be quite far away to be expecting an update regarding season 5 anytime soon. If you’re here to know more about the upcoming season, you’ve come to the right place. Let’s delve into detail.

Will there be a Season 5 of Genius? 

As of now, we’re clueless whether or not the series will return with the fifth season but looking back at the previous seasons which covered different historical figures each season, it is most likely that the series will continue for more seasons. However, fans of this show need to exercise patience as it is still a long way away. In the meantime, you can look forward to the fourth season. 

Genius Season 5 Release Date: When is it?

Because the fourth season still hasn’t been released, there are no updates concerning the fifth season. But we do know that season 4 is scheduled to arrive sometime in 2023 and on the off chance if the series is renewed for a fifth installment, it is expected that it will arrive somewhere in 2024.

As for seasons 4 and 5, we can expect a new batch of the cast just like the previous seasons that introduced us to new characters. 

Genius Season 5 Plot: What to expect?

The first season revolves around Albert Einstein in his early years as a civil servant striving to secure a teaching role and how he achieved great things in his later years. Season 1 consisted of 10 episodes. It was released from April 17 to June 20, 2017.

The second season also consisted of 10 episodes which were released on April 24, 2018, and ended on June 19, 2018, centered on the life of Pablo Picasso. Like the first season, the season also portrays two periods.

The third season consisting of eight episodes was launched from March 21 to March 24, 2021. It centered on Aretha Franklin in her early years to later years.

For the fourth season, the official synopsis reads: “While King advanced racial equality through nonviolent protest, Malcolm X argued forcefully for Black empowerment, identity, and self-determination. With their formidable wives, Coretta Scott King and Betty Shabazz, by their sides, King and Malcolm X became synonymous with the civil rights era and the fight for racial and economic justice. While they met only once and often challenged each other’s views, neither would have been as successful without the other.”

As for season 5, it is expected to center on Martin Luther King. 

In a recent interview, series executive producers the Bythewoods revealed, “Malcolm and Martin are staggering icons, and we have been eager to explore the genius of these two very real men in a way that has not yet been seen. We are excited to team up with Imagine Entertainment and 20th Television to reflect on their amazing lives and contributions to civil rights and the urgency of today.”

Where to watch Genius?

All three seasons of Genius are available to watch on National Geographic Channel.

Stay tuned for all the latest updates on Season 5 of Genius.

Is Genius season 5 returning in 2023? 

Genius season 5 has been renewed and is expected to return in 2023 – however, there hasn’t been an official update from the makers yet. In case of any potential updates, we shall inform this space – stay tuned!

What is the storyline of Genius?

Genius is an American anthology historical drama television series that debuted on National Geographic. From his early days as a patent clerk attempting to break into academia to his job as a renowned scientist who created the theory of relativity, Albert Einstein is followed throughout the first season. From Picasso’s early realisation of his genius as a young man to his later trials as a famous artist dealing with fascism and the price of fame, the second season follows him. Season 3 covers Aretha Franklin’s whole life, from her formative years as a gospel singer who became pregnant at the age of twelve to her later years as a rising artist who was dubbed the “Queen of Soul.”

What happened at the end of the series Genius?

Following Jerry Wexler’s departure from Atlantic Records, Aretha takes a sabbatical from her sister Carolyn, is nominated for a Grammy but is not awarded the honour, and meets with Clive Davis, the creator of Arista.

 

Despite experiencing significant personal losses, Aretha pushes herself creatively and succeeds. With Clive Davis’ help, she establishes a career at Arista and solidifies her status as the Queen of Soul with a performance at the 1998 Grammy Awards.

Is “Genius” worth watching?

It’s worth watching the series Genius! Though it is not a series that features fast-paced, adrenaline-pumping action, and at times does move slowly, it is nonetheless highly interesting and instructional.
