National Geographic has again striven to tackle questions that plague the minds of believers and non-religious people alike. What is heaven and what is hell? Who are the chosen ones? Is there proof of God’s existence?

The second season of the Emmy-nominated series The Story of God with Morgan Freeman, the network’s most-watched series of all time, will be returning to answer these questions and more.

Each of the three new episodes in the season will explore a different major theme: “The Chosen One?” “Proof of God” and “Heaven and Hell.” Morgan Freeman meets with individuals, faith leaders, scientists and archaeologists to help him understand these big topics.

“One of the things we love most about doing this series is finding the interconnected threads all humans share across different cultures, faiths and ideologies when it comes to seeking understanding of life’s great mysteries,” said Freeman. “I hope this series continues to not just entertain and inform, but also to open dialogue that will allow us to understand our neighbors both here in the U.S. and around the world.”

Make sure to watch The Story of God with Morgan Freeman when it premiers on Monday, January 16th at 9/8c.
