NOVA Wonders is a documentary series that explores the mysteries of the universe through the eyes of three researchers: Talithia Williams, Rana El Kaliouby, and Andre Fenton. The show premiered on PBS in 2018 and consists of six hour-long episodes. In each episode, the hosts tackle a different topic that ranges from the inner workings of the brain to the search for extraterrestrial life. They use cutting-edge technology, experiments, and interviews with leading experts to delve deep into their subjects.

Talithia Williams is a mathematician and statistician who guides viewers through the complexity of data in the first episode, "What Are Animals Saying?". Williams shows us how data can be used to gain insights about the animal kingdom and how it communicates. She leads viewers through an experiment in decoding the language of prairie dogs and even uses artificial intelligence to figure out how many humpback whales are in the ocean.

In "Can We Build a Brain?", Andre Fenton takes the viewers on a journey to understand one of the most complicated organs in the body. Fenton is a neuroscientist and shares the latest research in the search for brain-based treatments for Alzheimer

NOVA Wonders is a series that ran for 1 seasons (6 episodes) between April 25, 2018 and on PBS
