The Story of God with Morgan Freeman is back on National Geographic Channel with three new episodes When it comes to mankind’s greatest existential questions, it’s safe to say that there are no easy answers. That fact proved little obstacle for the first season of National Geographic Channel‘s The Story of God with Morgan Freeman. Over the course of six episodes, Freeman traveled the globe in search of an understanding of man’s theological motives, focused through specific topics and backed by firsthand conversations with all sorts of unique individuals. Now, as The Story of God launches its second season, Freeman joins longtime producing partner Lori McCreary and fellow EP James Younger for a quick conversation with ComingSoon.net about how The Story of God came to be and about what will be explored over the course of three season two episodes. ComingSoon.net: How did you three come together for the show in the first place? Morgan Freeman: We were in Hagia Sophia, looking up on the walls where there were these frescoes.
