In the debate over which is the best superpower, seeing into the future is always near the top of the list. While there is no crystal ball or magic spell that can tell us what the future has in store, scholars and experts can make some educated guesses. Tech visionary Bill Gates will be speaking with some of these people for Netflix’s new docu-series “What’s Next? The Future with Bill Gates”
“I have always loved learning,” Gates told Netflix. “Whether at school, Microsoft, or now, as a philanthropist, I consider myself a student.” The five-part series will discuss issues like AI, income inequality, climate crisis, the eradication of deadly diseases, and misinformation.

Gates will break down these topics with the help of the world’s most renowned scientists, politicians, journalists, and artists. Guests include Anthony Fauci, U2’s Bono, Greg Brockman, and James Cameron. Along with Lady Gaga, Mark Cuban, Phoebe Gates, Senator Bernie Sanders, and Senator Mitt Romney
“Bill is one of the most curious people I’ve met, and the amount of learning he still does on a daily basis is truly inspiring,” said Oscar winner Morgan Neville (“20 Feet From Stardom”), who executive produces the series. “This series covers some of the most relevant and often polarizing topics facing society today, and I hope this exploration will be as exciting for people to watch as it was for me to film. Learning new things and meeting innovators are what enriches my life every day, and this series gave me an opportunity to do both those things.”
“What’s Next? The Future with Bill Gates” primers September 18th exclusively on Netflix. You can check out the first trailer below:
