WASHINGTON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–National Geographic announced today the greenlight of a new series The
Story Of Us With Morgan Freeman
, from the creators of the critically
acclaimed series The Story Of God with Morgan Freeman. In this

this time exploring themes that unite us all. The Story Of Us With

each one of us. Each of the six hourlong episodes will explore a single
fundamental force or topic, including love, belief, power, war and

this franchise is that Morgan represents all of us on his personal quest
to understand these topics.”

global journey to understand how human culture has taken on so many
remarkable forms,” added Freeman, who co-founded Revelations
Entertainment with Lori McCreary. Both are joined as executive producers
