The Genius TV series has already been renewed for a fourth season so we don’t have to wonder if it will be cancelled this time around. However, the series is moving to Disney+ and it’s unknown if season four will eventually air on National Geographic. Could the third season ratings make a difference? Stay tuned.
An anthology series, Genius dramatizes the stories of the world’s most brilliant innovators, their extraordinary achievements and their sometimes volatile, passionate, and complex personal relationships. Season three tells the story of the Queen of Soul, Aretha Franklin, and stars Cynthia Erivo, Courtney B. Vance, Malcolm Barrett, David Cross, Patrice Covington, Rebecca Naomi Jones, Steven Norfleet, Pauletta Washington, Omar J. Dorsey, Marque Richardson, Kimberly Hébert Gregory, and Shaian Jordan. The season follows the musical genius and her incomparable career, as well as the impact and lasting influence she has had on music and culture around the world. Grammy Award winner Franklin was a gospel prodigy, an outspoken civil rights champion and is widely considered to be one of the greatest singers of the past 50 years, receiving nearly countless honors throughout her career.

What do you think? Do you like the Genius: Aretha TV series on National Geographic Channel? Should it be cancelled or renewed for a fourth season?
It should be cancelled. Only good part about this series is the music. Cynthia is a good singer but she lacks the soul and essence of Aretha. There’s a lot of inaccuracies in this series that build for drama which is disrespectful.
I felt like the story was exaggerated and embellished nobody could smoke those many cigarets and still Sing. Also I don’t believe that all of those Christian people were as corrupt as they are protraying them maybe some of them but I come from A-line of Southern gospel people and they did not act that way
I watched the complete series. It was a great series and there were some great actors. The singing was awesome, and Aretha was truly a force to be to be reckoned with. Looking forward to more. I love me some Aretha.
Love the show,And the singing Is phenomenal,couldn’t find a better singer in my opinion. The acting is great too.
