'Early onset' cancer, cancer affecting adults from 18-49, increased globally by a staggering 79% between 1990 and 2019. Directed by Emmy®, Peabody, and two-time WGA Award nominee Janet Tobias (CNN Films Unseen Enemy and Race for the Vaccine ), the film follows early on-set cancer patients and the doctors, scientists, nurses and social workers who care for them at one of the world's leading cancer centers, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK). With her signature blend of curiosity and empathy, Tobias documents every aspect of their lives – from dating and marriage to work and finances, from sexuality and fertility to friendship and parenting. For the first time in its history, MSK is granting exclusive access to their doctors, scientists and other staff as they race to understand and treat these patients' disease and work to provide specialized support for this rising population. Presented by CNN Films, In the Prime of Life (w/t) is a Global Health Reporting Center and HHMI Tangled Bank Studios production and will premiere in 2026. Prime Minister – In August 2017, in the lead-up to national elections, Jacinda Ardern unexpectedly became New Zealand's opposition party leader. She had just turned 37. Going behind the scenes of her administration and her private life, Prime Minister follows Jacinda for seven years as she is catapulted to the top of New Zealand politics, becomes only the second head of state in history to give birth while in office, resigns suddenly from office and continues to champion the fight against isolationism, fear, and the distortion of truth. Intimate home footage shot by her husband and audio interviews that Jacinda did while in office give us unparalleled access. Along with in-depth contemporaneous interviews, these form the emotional backbone of the story, giving viewers an unfiltered window into her years in power. Directed by Michelle Walshe and Lindsay Utz, Prime Minister is produced by Madison Wells and Dark Doris, in association with Divergent Pictures. The film will be released in theaters by Magnolia Pictures on June 13 and will premiere on HBO, CNN and Max later this year.

Produced by Hat Trick Productions for CNN Originals, the third season of Have I Got News for You premieres Saturday, September 6 at 9pm ET/PT on CNN. New Orleans (w/t) – New Orleans is a city unlike any other. Every day on its narrow and historic streets, it lives its culture out loud. From the sounds of live jazz, to the smell of warm beignets, to the ultimate party of all parties – Mardi Gras – the city communes with its history through music, food, sports and tradition. This four-part series tells its roaring story from its swampy founding to the present day. It uncovers the city through its trials and triumphs, and reveals how 20 years after Katrina, the city is louder and more resilient than ever. Voices include notable New Orleanians such as Emeril Lagasse, Wendell Pierce, Malcolm Jenkins, Trombone Shorty and James Carville. Decades of Sports – No single sport, season, game or player can adequately capture why athletic competition at the highest level is so wildly compelling. But taken as a whole, this six-part series will unravel the thrill of the victory and the agony of defeat across six decades of larger-than-life athletes, intense rivalries and stunning upsets that encapsulate the command sports have on our cultural attention. Coming in 2026, Decades of Sports is a continuation of CNN Original Series' celebrated and Emmy® Award-nominated partnership with Playtone and Herzog & Company from Executive Producers Tom Hanks, Gary Goetzman and Mark Herzog. This Land is Your Land (w/t) – Marking America's 250th birthday, This Land is Your Land tells the story of the dramatic transformation of six iconic locations throughout the nation's storied past, as titans of history clash to reshape the map and seize the future of the United States. As a young nation claims new territory and shapes its identity, this series illuminates how themes from America's past echo strongly in the present.

CNN Unveils Summer Programming Slate with 3 New CNN Original Series
May 1st, 2025 NEW YORK – (May 1, 2025) – Building on CNN Originals success providing new insights to historical and cultural events, CNN announced today a trifecta of summer programming featuring an exciting slate of pop culture explorations. The new CNN Original Series include American Prince: JFK Jr ., which premieres Sunday, August 10, along with Live Aid: When Rock 'n' Roll Took On the World and Billionaire Boys Club , both of which premiere on Sunday, July 13. 'All three of these series evoke a very specific time and place and will transport our viewers back to iconic historical moments from within their lifetimes,' said Amy Entelis, executive vice president of talent, CNN Originals and creative development. 'Collectively, these stories make up a summer of nostalgia from CNN Original Series, encompassing the seedy underbelly of 1980s Los Angeles, an American dynasty in transition in the 1990s, and one of the most significant events in music history in 1985.' Series descriptions are as follows: American Prince: JFK Jr. | Premieres Saturday, August 10 at 10pm ET/PT The remarkable life and enduring legacy of John F. Kennedy Jr. are explored in this three-part original series. American Prince: JFK Jr. traces his early years marked by his father's assassination and the societal and familial pressures to carry the Kennedy torch, through his decision to create George , a new kind of political magazine within the rapidly evolving media landscape of the 90s. It also reveals the love story he shared with Carolyn Bessette, which was relentlessly targeted by media attention. Executive producers for American Prince: JFK Jr. are Ian Orefice and Jon Adler for EverWonder Studio along with Amy Entelis, Lyle Gamm and Katie Hinman for CNN Original Series. Gary Ginsberg is Consulting Producer. Live Aid: When Rock 'n' Roll Took On the World | Premieres Sunday, July 13 at 9pm ET/PT Celebrating the 40th anniversary of Live Aid, this four-part series tells the definitive story of how two rockstars inspired the largest global music events in history. Their inspiration sparked a remarkable social movement, raising tens of billions of dollars. Featuring interviews with iconic figures including Bob Geldof, Bono, Sting, Patti LaBelle, Phil Collins and Lionel Richie along with global leaders including George W. Bush, Condoleezza Rice, President Obasanjo and Tony Blair, the series also includes rare archival footage of performances and backstage with Paula Yates, Boy George, Status Quo and George Michael. Live Aid is a co-production with the BBC, produced by Brook Lapping, a Zinc Media label, in association with Ronachan Films.

Executive producers for CNN Original Series are Amy Entelis and Lyle Gamm. Billionaire Boys Club | Premieres Sunday, July 13 at 10pm ET/PT In the greed-fueled landscape of 1980s Los Angeles, a group of young, ambitious men set out to make their fortune—but their lavish dreams quickly spiral into a web of deception, fraud, and murder. Produced by Universal Television Alternative Studio (UTAS), Billionaire Boys Club unpacks the rise and fall of Joe Hunt and the exclusive investment group comprised of privileged 20-somethings whose schemes and crimes captivated the media. In an era where fraud and deception have become status quo, Billionaire Boys Club serves as a chilling cautionary tale—revealing what happens when ambition becomes obsession, and a mansion-sized empire is nothing more than a house of cards waiting to collapse. Emmy® Award-nominated documentary filmmaker Star Price ( United Shades of America , Penn & Teller: Bullshit! ) serves as showrunner and executive producer of Billionaire Boys Club . Award-winning producers Adam Kassen ( Homicide: New York, Prosecuting Evil with Kelly Siegler ) and Liz Yale Marsh ( Little Richard: I Am Everything , Face to Face with Scott Peterson ), both under overall deals at UTAS, also executive produce along with Amy Entelis and Lyle Gamm for CNN Original Series.
