We’re All Gonna Die (Even Jay Baruchel) Season 2, April 19 Premiere, Crave

Crave has announced the premiere date for the second season of its docuseries “We’re All Gonna Die (Even Jay Baruchel).” The award-winning show, which delves into potential global catastrophes and explores ways to prevent them, will release all six episodes on Friday, April 19.

Jay Baruchel, known for his roles in “Blackberry” and “Goon,” returns as the director, host, and executive producer. Alongside scientists, activists, and experts, Baruchel aims to uncover solutions and technological innovations that could help save humanity from impending doom. Despite the heavy subject matter, he infuses the series with hope for a better future.

With his trademark wit and relatable discomfort, Baruchel dives deep into topics such as artificial intelligence, space threats, insect die-offs caused by human activity, nanotechnology’s risks to the environment, the concept of reality as a computer simulation, and his own personal fear of death.

Each episode focuses on a specific issue:

– In Episode 1 titled “Jay – I,” Baruchel investigates the impact of artificial intelligence on society and how much time remains before robots take over.
– Episode 2 delves into the terrifying aspects of outer space that frighten Jay personally. Topics explored include gamma bursts and coronal mass ejections.
– In Episode 3 titled “Insect Extermination,” Jay learns about the alarming decline of insects due to human actions. He contemplates what would happen if these vital creatures go extinct.
– The dangers associated with nanotechnology are explored in Episode 4 called “Nano Nightmare.” While this technology holds promise in solving major problems, it also poses significant risks to our environment.
– Episode 5 challenges Jay’s perception of reality with an exploration of the simulation theory. If everything is just a computer-generated illusion, does it make sense to strive towards saving the world?
– The season finale, Episode 6 titled “The End of Jays,” confronts Jay with the ultimate existential threat—his own mortality. Can he come to terms with the uncertainty of his inevitable but unpredictable demise?

By tackling these pressing issues, “We’re All Gonna Die (Even Jay Baruchel)” aims to inform and inspire viewers to take action and create a brighter future for humanity.
