The Future with Bill Gates, the tech visionary and global health and climate philanthropist invites viewers to join him on a learning journey to explore pressing issues facing our world today.

Featuring insights and commentary from some of the world's most renowned scientists, politicians, thinkers, journalists, medical professionals, artists and more, and executive produced by Oscar winner Morgan Neville (20 Feet From Stardom), What's Next? offers a glimpse into a more promising and equitable future.

Quote from Bill Gates:
"I'm lucky that my work gives me a front seat to some of the most pressing issues facing us today. Although there are scary things going on in the world, it's easier to stay optimistic when you understand what exactly it will take to tackle hard challenges - and some of the great ideas people have for solving them. In this series, I sit down with and learn from some of the smartest people thinking about technology, health, climate, and more. Together, we explore the path to progress for five of the biggest problems we face. I can't wait to share this incredible experience, and I hope viewers will find it as thought provoking to watch as I found it to film."
Quote from Executive Producer Morgan Neville: "Bill is one of the most curious people I've met, and the amount of learning he still does on a daily basis is truly inspiring. The topics covered in the series are some of the biggest questions that we face today and Netflix is the perfect platform because of its global reach."
