Fox Nation is releasing "Houdini: Back from the Dead," a three-part series premiering on October 14 to mark the upcoming centennial of Harry Houdini's death. The production uses artificial intelligence to bring the famous illusionist back to life, letting him recount his life story using his own words extracted from historical diaries, books, and letters.
The series was created using over 400 licensed photographs, archival footage, and human actors as physical stand-ins who were then transformed via AI. Although scripts were written by humans and verified by experts, the project represents a pioneering and controversial step for Fox Nation into fully AI-generated programming.
