Jeff Goldblum "Off the Beaten Track" Disney+ Series Gets Official Trailer

Today, Disney+ used the occasion of the D23 Expo to reveal the official trailer for a show I'm pretty excited about—probably the one I'm most excited about out of all of the announcements that have rolled out today: The World According to Jeff Goldblum. It seems each episode will feature our beloved Goldblum (as he warns us: he will be in the show… a lot) exploring a particular subject that we all love and giving us a refreshing – and we're sure "unique" – perspective on it.

It seems this show has the potential to be like a mix of Alton Brown/Anthony Bourdain with How It's Made— travelling the world and learning… with copious amounts of food, randomness, and awkwardness sprinkled in between. I'm looking forward to him focusing on something he's particularly fascinated with and taking us on a ride with him to learn everything he can about it.

At the beginning of the trailer, Goldblum promises this show will be "a little off the beaten track" and adds that it "may be a unexpected and surprising". He then invites us to "taste" and "enjoy" it.

This trailer couldn't be anu more "Goldblum" if it tried… so c'mon and take a look:

I already know my favorite part will be Jeff Goldblum randomly breaking into song and dance. I particularly love that he states he will not be taking the place of a professor, more like a student in the path of learning. He even calls himself a "late Gold-Bloomer". Some of the subjects he mentions in the way-too-brief trailer include: shoes, denim, ice cream, tattoos, and jewelry. I'm pretty excited to see what this little gem has to offer—if nothing else, at least it will have Jeff Goldblum in every episode. As someone who loves watching shows on how things are made or where they come from, they had me at "Goldblum."

Our very own Editor-in-Chief Kaitlyn Booth is reporting live from the three-day event – and you can join our live-blog as we cover all things Disney, a Spider-Man-less Marvel, Pixar, Star Wars series The Mandalorian, and the world of amusement parks.

For those of you not part of the "Mickey Continuum" (yet) and need backstory on what a "D23" is, here's how we see it. Billed as the largest fan event in the world, D23 Expo 2019 is the company's way of showing any other media company out there that they are not to be f***ed with – in the friendliest way possible. So over the course of three days attendees will learn what lies ahead on the path towards pop culture nirvana, across the company's media landscape: film, television, theme parks, products, online, music, live entertainment, and more.

Disney+ Showcase

3:30pm PT – 5pm PT / 6:30pm ET – 8pm ET

On the television side of things, the streaming service is expected to make a major statement during their showcase. Expect The Mandalorian, the Lady and the Tramp live-action remake, and High School Musical: The Musical: The Series (which has a screening later in the day) as some of the expected topics – and then there's that rumored Ewan McGregor/Obi-Wan limited series as well as a possible surprise or two from the Marvel U.

Go Behind the Scenes with The Walt Disney Studios

10am PT – 12pm ET / 1pm ET – 3pm ET

Star Wars. Marvel. Pixar. Disney. Live-action. Animated.

Do we even need to bother considering the possibilities? Star Wars 9 "sizzle reel" footage hopefully looking like a given – and again, while most people default to "film" when Marvel Studios enters the room… we might see some surprises on the smaller-screen side of things.
