Fox Nation will premiere a three part Harry Houdini series created entirely with AI generated imagery on October 14.

Fox Nation will premiere Houdini: Back from the Dead on October 14, the company announced in a press release. The three part series is the service's first full length production made entirely with AI generated imagery.

The series depicts Harry Houdini returning to narrate his life from a modern documentary set. It also recreates his family members, friends and associates using accounts from diaries, books, correspondence and other historical writings.

The production licensed archival footage and more than 400 historical photographs as source material for AI artists. Actors performed the principal roles to provide movement, speech patterns and performances, while AI tools changed their appearances to resemble the historical figures. Humans wrote the scripts, and archival research and expert review supported the historical claims.
