The National Geographic show Genius is coming to Disney+ for Season 4, giving a new audience the chance to learn about some of our most prominent historical figures. Deadline reported the network change-up in December 2020, which is also when the theme of the new season was announced.

Following in the footsteps of the series about Albert Einstein, Pablo Picasso, and Aretha Franklin, the fourth season will be dedicated to the genius of Martin Luther King Jr.

Not much is known about the new season yet, as the Aretha Franklin episodes are only just now wrapping up. King was actually briefly included in the Franklin season, played by Bloodline actor Ethan Henry. It’s unknown if the role will be recast for the King-focused series.
