CNN unveiled its slate of original non-fiction series and specials at the Warner Bros. Discovery upfront presentation on Wednesday, including a second season of Eva Longoria: Searching for France and a new series featuring celebrity chef David Chang.
The lineup also includes Mind vs/+ Machine: The Human Story of A.I., directed by Steve James and executive produced by Alex Gibney, and another season of Have I Got News for You.
Also planned is a documentary short from Betsy West and Julie Cohen, Top of the World, about the restaurant Windows on the World at the top of the World Trade Center. The project is presented in partnership with Time Studios, and produced in association with Montalto Pictures, Tribeca Studios and Storyville Films. It will premiere in the fall in select theaters and on CNN.
Other projects have already been announced, including Amelia, also from West and Cohen, about the life of Amelia Earhart; Fred Armisen is Lost in Sound, in which the comedian looks into the Universal Music Group archives to find the stories behind the music.
Also getting a renewal is another season of Variety’s Actors on Actors, tied to the Emmys.
Season 2 of Eva Longoria: Searching for France will premiere in 2027, and will explore Champagne, Lyon and other areas. The show is produced by Hyphenate Media Group.
Chang’s show, currently untitled, will be a road trip through food and culture across America. Chang will drive with no itinerary “to uncover the stories, people and meals that don’t make it into guidebooks,” per the network.
