Neil deGrasse Tyson will be back on the National Geographic Channel now that the network has completed an investigation into accusations that the celebrity astrophysicist engaged in sexual misconduct.
The network released a minimal statement to Variety and didnt elaborate on the findings: StarTalk will return to the air with the remaining 13 episodes in April on National Geographic, and both Fox and National Geographic are committed to finding an air date for Cosmos. There will be no further comment.
In November, Patheos published accounts from two women who accused Tyson of behaving in a sexually inappropriate manner with them. Nat Geo and Fox chose to investigate the allegations and held off airing episodes of Cosmos and Star Talk until the investigation was complete. 21st Century Fox is the parent company of the Fox network and has a majority stake in the National Geographic Channel.
Tyson denied the accusations in a Facebook post but said he welcomed the investigation.
I'm glad to see him back. I guess the failure to elaborate is an attempt to preempt any legal challenge?
