National Geographic's "Mars" returns for a second season, and Mexican producer and director Everardo Gout tells CineMovie the show isn't entirely fiction. The show mixes scripted drama with documentary style interviews with experts and scientist weighing in on space travel and colonizing Mars. While humans can't inhabit Mars yet, Gout says the show consults experts on what it would be like and the exact science behind space travel.
