“I’m not here to be didactic or professorial in any way,” Goldblum says in the trailer. “I know nothing — that’s the premise. I’m a humble student and, in fact, kind of a late bloomer… a late Gold-bloomer.”
Produced by National Geographic Studios, actor Jeff Goldblum brings his take on everyday things, such as sneakers, jewellery, ice cream, tattoos, Korean barbecue, square dancing, synchronized swimming, and much more, in this new Disney+ series.
Through the prism of Jeff Goldblum’s always inquisitive and highly entertaining mind, nothing is as it seems in this new series. Each episode is centered around something we all love — like sneakers or ice cream — as Jeff pulls the thread on these deceptively familiar objects and unravels a wonderful world of astonishing connections, fascinating science and history, amazing people, and a whole lot of surprising big ideas and insights.
Jeff Goldblum spoke about the series during its panel at D23 Expo in August, where they also released the trailer.
“The premise of the show is, because it’s the world according to Jeff Goldblum, it’s me with all the information and experience that my life has entailed up until this point now, plopping me I go the world of exploration of one thing or another.”
“I have whatever associations I have or past experiences with it, and that’s it and then I kind of encounter interesting people around these subjects and you see me, you go along with me, if you’re so inclined, and we have this experience together. It’s all a surprise to me. I don’t even meet the people, see the places, before they turn on the camera. It’s all me kind of like a chick popping out of its shell.”
The World According To Jeff Goldblum, which consists of 12 half-hour episodes, will be available November 12th on Disney+ in the US, Canada, and the Netherlands and November 19th in Australia and New Zealand.
