Genius (2017)

Get ready, history buffs and drama lovers! Following the critically acclaimed fourth season, Genius: MLK/X, which brilliantly chronicled the lives of Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X in early 2024, the big question on everyone's mind is: when will season five arrive? As of right now, National Geographic has not officially renewed the series for a fifth installment. While the show's incredible track record gives us high hopes, there is currently no official information or even a rumored release window for the next chapter of this outstanding anthology series.

Because the series has not yet been greenlit for a new season, any speculation on an air date is premature. Networks often assess a season's performance before making a decision, and with season four just wrapping up, we are in a waiting period for that official announcement. Once a renewal is confirmed, the intricate process of casting and production will begin. It's a long road, but always worth the wait! Want to be the first to know when Genius season 5 is confirmed?
