Harry Houdini returns from the grave in AI-generated Fox Nation series 100 years after his death

A century after his death on Halloween, legendary escape artist Harry Houdini is about to pull off his greatest trick yet — coming back from the dead.

The illusionist returns in the new three-part Fox Nation series "Houdini: Back from the Dead," revived by artificial intelligence as he appears to sit down for a modern-day interview to recount the untold stories, personal struggles and death-defying feats that defined his life.

"Fox Nation is breaking new creative ground by using emerging technology to bring one of history's most fascinating figures to life for a modern audience," Lauren Petterson, president of the platform, said in a press release.

OZZY OSBOURNE'S LATEST REINVENTION IS AN AI-POWERED INTERACTIVE HOLOGRAM EXPERIENCE "We're proud to showcase a new form of historical storytelling that allows viewers to experience Houdini's remarkable life in his own words, while remaining rooted in extensive research and historical accuracy." Premiering on Oct.

14 ahead of the 100th anniversary of Houdini's death, the series brings the legendary illusionist and those closest to him — including his wife Bess, mother, brother and friends — back to life through AI, allowing them to recount his career, personal relationships and most daring feats.
