When is Genius Season 4 Releasing?
Although the majority of what’s going to happen in Season 4 has been revealed, the official release date remains a mystery. That said, we do know for a fact that it is happening in 2024. So, if you are waiting for the official release, we’d recommend you hold onto your horses right now.
Also, if the creators and network follow the same release pattern as the previous three seasons, there are high chance that the fourth season will be released in the first quarter of 2024. Rumors depict a February 2024 release.
With so much production and post-production work involved, it makes sense that the creators are taking their time perfecting the show before they release it to the audience. You’d have to remain a bit patient with the release now.
What can we expect from Genius Season 4?
Unlike previous seasons, which focused on single individuals, “Genius: MLK/X” adopts a dual narrative, weaving together the stories of King and X from their formative years to their pivotal moments in the fight for equality.
We’ll witness King’s rise from a gifted student to a charismatic preacher, his early struggles for justice, and the development of his nonviolent resistance philosophy. In parallel, we’ll see Malcolm X’s journey from a street hustler to a powerful advocate for Black nationalism, exploring his fiery speeches and his unwavering commitment to self-defense.
This season promises to be a complex and thought-provoking examination of the movement’s internal tensions and diverse approaches. Expect to see the interplay between King’s calls for integration and X’s emphasis on Black self-determination, as well as the personal struggles and sacrifices both men faced
