Exclusive: Deadline has the first look at PBS’ trailer for Niall Ferguson’s Networld, a three-episode series exploring the origins of social networks. Check it out above.
The series is written and hosted by Ferguson, a bestselling author and host known for nonfiction work like the International Emmy-winning documentary The Ascent of Money.
Premiering on March 17, the show is inspired by Ferguson’s book, The Square and the Tower: Networks and Power, from the Freemasons to Facebook. It combines history and network science to chart the demise of early Silicon Valley visions of a connected, utopian world and the onset of an anxiety-provoking blend of fake news, extreme views and manipulation of public opinion in another election year.
With the influence of such digital platforms as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat and TikTok continuing to grow as ethical and legal questions about them multiply, the show tells the origin story of social networking.
