NEW YORK, NY – (February 24, 2024) – CNN Original Series Eva Longoria: Searching for Spain will premiere on Sunday, April 27 at 9pm ET/PT on CNN. Produced by Cris Abrego's and Longoria's Hyphenate Media Group, the eight-episode series follows the award-winning actress, producer, director, and activist on a gastronomic pilgrimage across the land of her ancestors as she indulges in the rich tapestry of Spanish cuisine. The series will air Sundays at 9pm ET/PT on CNN.
'Spain's rich culture, passionate people and bold and diverse cuisines have captivated me as long as I can remember, especially knowing that one of my Mexican-American ancestors has deep roots in this remarkable country,' said Longoria. 'The opportunity to immerse myself in Spain's many regions, to discover its fascinating history, to indulge in its dynamic culinary traditions and innovations has been nothing short of exhilarating. I am so excited to finally share this incredible journey with the world!'
Searching for Spain invites viewers to journey with Longoria across Spain's sun-drenched plains, rugged mountains and dramatic seascapes exploring its incredible wealth of cultures, climates and cuisines. This season, Longoria tastes her way through a bar crawl of pintxos in San Sebastián, Catalan prawns in Barcelona, and the iconic Spanish tortilla in Madrid. She ventures to the birthplace of tapas and samples some of the most expensive jamon in the world in Andalusia. In Galicia, she savors a bounty of fresh seafood and world class Galician blonde beef. Among the cider mills of Asturias, she explores the land of her ancestors and visits with family who still live in the town of Longoria to this day. Finally, audiences get a special peek into her new Spanish home in Marbella as she hosts a feast of local delicacies for her closest friends.
