The official description for History of Swear Words reads: “An education in expletives: the history lesson you didn’t know you needed. History Of Swear Words, hosted by Nicolas Cage, is a loud and proudly profane series that explores the origins, pop culture-usage, science and cultural impact of curse words.”
Through interviews with experts in etymology, pop culture, historians and entertainers, the six-episode series dives into the origins of “Fuck” “Shit”, Bitch”, “Dick”, “Pussy”, and “Damn”.

Earlier this year, the actor reflected on his career to date in an interview with NME, acknowledging how nostalgia might contribute to the way fans approach his career.
“There seems to be something happening on the Internet with people who have followed my career,” Cage said. “Some of the movies are returning in a way that I think is making them more interesting, which I’m thankful for.”
He added: “It’s truly something that I see as good news. But I’m not nostalgic about my early work and I’m always trying to feel where I can go and how I can go forward.”
History of Swear Words will air on Netflix on January 5, 2021.
