A History of the Future

A History of the Future is a 2019 documentary series by The History Channel Iberia, written and hosted by Professor Diego Rubio, and produced by Onza Entertainment. The series comprises four episodes, each of which explores one key aspect of society’s future (work, democracy, globalization and climate) by analysing past precedents and modern data, and projecting historical trends.

The series has been the most ambitious production of History Channel Iberia to date, and it was commissioned to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the channel entitled “History of the Future”. To create it, the team examined hundreds of hours of archival footage and modern 4K images filmed in the five continents.

The series features interviews with 18 leading academics, including Timothy Snyder (Yale), Erik Brynjolfsson (MIT), Naomi Oreskes (Harvard), Graham Allison (Harvard), Carl Benedikt Frey (Oxford), Steven Levitsky (Harvard), Rana Mitter (Oxford), César Hidalgo (MIT), Tim Leuning (LSE), Myles Allen (Oxford), o Joanna Haigh (Imperial College). It was also supported by IE’s Center for the Governance of Change[i], one of “the five most innovative European universities” according to Public.[ii]

The first episode will premier the History Channel on December 9th, 2019.
