幾千年來，各個文化都有其黑暗的預言，預示了世界末日大災難的到來。「預言家效應」透過仔細研究今日的全球事件並追溯到相對應的預言，呈現給觀眾歷年來最駭人的預言。各路的專家將解析諾斯特拉達姆士的多項預言，還有其他記載於聖經、神話、象形文字以及其他古文中的預言，是否與當今所發生的事件有其特別關聯。科學將被用來驗證預言與未來所發生之事的相關性。此外，每集節目都將探討有關各文化對於世界末日的預言都有神祕的相似處。
For thousands of years, every culture has generated dark prophecies portending doomsday scenarios when the world will come to a cataclysmic end. THE NOSTRADAMUS EFFECT presents the most chilling prophecies generated over time by closely examining today's global events and relating them back to a particular prophecy. A broad range of experts will deconstruct the prophecies of Nostradamus, others contained in the bible, within mythology, hieroglyphs and other ancient texts to identify remarkable correlations between today's unfolding events and a particular prediction. Science will be used to provide evidence supporting the possible association between these prophecies and corresponding future scenarios. Also, each episode will explore the connection between the prophecy in question with prophecies from other cultures portending mysteriously similar end-of-day scenarios.
