Fox Nation has set the three-part series “Houdini: Back from the Dead” for an Oct. 14 debut, resurrecting the illusionist ahead of the 100th anniversary of his Oct. 31, 1926, death — all with AI.

“Houdini: Back from the Dead” chronicles Houdini’s life through his own “words,” from a childhood ridden with a violent accident and strained relations with his family to his daring feats performed for audiences. The AI-generated “Houdini” persona will appear similarly to a documentary subject, answering questions about the late illusionist’s life for a “camera.
