Science presenter David Eagleman, whose past credits include Netflix’s The Creative Brain and the BBC/PBS’ The Brain, has launched a private equity-backed shingle with U.S. producer vets Matt Tauber and Adam Fratto.
Cognito Entertainment will focus on science shows spanning both scripted and unscripted, along with documentaries, features and podcasts.
The outfit has already optioned Grace Chan’s sci-fi novel Every Version of You as an international feature film and is also shopping Galileo, a six-part TV series about the “father of science” from BAFTA-winning producer Karen Tenkhoff (Motorcyle Diaries) and Jon Levin (Marshall, The Breadwinner). Meanwhile, Eagleman has penned docuseries The Invisible Enemy about the way civilization has been shaped by a long history of germs, viruses and microbes, with Emmy-nominated producer Jonathan Grupper showrunning and Seema Yasmin hosting.
Eagleman, who teaches neuroscience at Stanford, presented and wrote the Emmy-nominated The Brain for the BBC and PBS and was the face of Netflix’s The Creative Brain, both of which were informative science shows.
Tauber is a producer and development exec whose past credits include AMC’s Preacher and A+E’s Project Blue Book, the latter of which Fratto oversaw during his stint running The History Channel’s scripted department.
Eagleman said: “We are living in an unparalleled moment of scientific advancement. From brains to space to genetics, there are endless mind-blowing stories to share.”

Michael Schneider Variety Editor at Large Hasan Minhaj is open to the idea of hosting “The Daily Show” — but it’s not a decision he would make alone. “That’s a family conversation now,” Minhaj tells Variety’s Awards Circuit Podcast. “It’s a very different conversation then when I first got hired at the show, when I was 29. My life is in a very different place. And so that’s a bigger convo.” Minhaj’s recent Netflix stand-up special, “The King’s Jester,” includes a deeply personal look by the comedian at the evolution of his family, from being infertile to eventually raising two children with his life — and how that has changed a lot of things in his life, including his career choices and his on-stage routines.

Owen Gleiberman Chief Film Critic Watching a police-procedural homicide drama, whether it’s the grungiest of VOD potboilers or the most visionary film of the genre, Michael Mann’s silvery, dread-drenched “Manhunter,” we more or less know one thing: At the end of two hours, the grisly mystery we’ve been dunked in will have its catharsis and its resolution. We will know who the killer is, and in knowing that a kind of order will have been restored. David Fincher’s “Zodiac,” with its tantalizing ambiguities, might stand as an exception to the form — a singular winding creep-out, without the closure we’re thirsting for — yet even there you feel, by the end, that you’ve glimpsed the face of evil. But “The Night of the 12th,” the French thriller that was nominated for 10 César Awards and won six of them, including best picture (it opens here on May 19), throws the audience a slow-motion curveball that’s intended to tinker with our dreams. And to a degree, it does. Based on a true-crime book by Pauline Guéna, the movie turns into one of the most casually authentic of investigative murder mysteries. Each time we think we’re seeing a classic suspense arc, it unravels into a dead end, and we think to ourselves: Of course. Crime in real life doesn’t necessarily happen so neatly. “The Night of the 12th” is a mostly compelling sit, though what lends the film its singular texture is that it keeps tricking us into thinking it’s a more conventional thriller than it is.
