CNN

===Past programming===

For the 2014–15 season, after canceling ''[[Piers Morgan Tonight]]'' (which, itself, replaced the long-running ''[[Larry King Live]]''), CNN experimented with running factual and reality-style programming during the 9:00&nbsp;p.m. ET hour, such as [[John Walsh (television host)|John Walsh]]'s ''[[The Hunt with John Walsh|The Hunt]]'', ''[[This Is Life with Lisa Ling]]'', and [[Mike Rowe]]'s ''[[Somebody's Gotta Do It]]''. Then-president [[Jeff Zucker]] explained that this new lineup was intended to shift CNN away from a reliance on [[pundit]]-oriented programs, and attract younger demographics to the network. Zucker stated that the 9:00&nbsp;p.m. hour could be pre-empted during major news events for expanded coverage. These changes coincided with the introduction of a new imaging campaign for the network, featuring the slogan "Go there".<ref name="variety-newprime">{{cite news|title=CNN Keeps Burnett, Cooper in Primetime While Adding 'CNN Tonight' at 10 P.M.|url=https://variety.com/2014/tv/news/cnn-keeps-burnett-cooper-in-primetime-while-adding-cnn-tonight-at-10-pm-1201155404|work=[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]]|access-date=April 11, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140413093546/http://variety.com/2014/tv/news/cnn-keeps-burnett-cooper-in-primetime-while-adding-cnn-tonight-at-10-pm-1201155404/|archive-date=April 13, 2014|url-status=live}}</ref><ref name="lat-newlineup">{{cite news|title=CNN unveils new prime-time lineup, moves away from 9 p.m. talk|url=https://www.latimes.com/entertainment/envelope/cotown/la-et-ct-cnn-prime-time-20140410,0,3282490.story|work=[[Los Angeles Times]]|access-date=April 11, 2014|first=Joe|last=Flint|date=April 10, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140411213034/http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/envelope/cotown/la-et-ct-cnn-prime-time-20140410,0,3282490.story|archive-date=April 11, 2014|url-status=live}}</ref><ref name="tvn-cnnnewlineup">{{cite web|title=CNN Doubles Down on a Mix of Live News, Original Series and Films|url=http://www.mediabistro.com/tvnewser/cnn-doubles-down-on-a-mix-of-live-news-original-series-and-films_b221080|work=TVNewer|access-date=April 11, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140411143252/http://www.mediabistro.com/tvnewser/cnn-doubles-down-on-a-mix-of-live-news-original-series-and-films_b221080|archive-date=April 11, 2014|url-status=dead}}</ref> In May 2014, CNN premiered ''[[The Sixties (miniseries)|The Sixties]]'', a documentary miniseries produced by [[Tom Hanks]], and [[Gary Goetzman]] which chronicled the United States in the 1960s.

By 2019, CNN had produced at least 35 original series. Alongside the Hanks/Goetzman franchise (including the 2018 spin-off ''1968''), CNN has aired other documentary miniseries relating to news and U.S. policies, such as ''The Bush Years'', and ''American Dynasties: The [[Kennedy family|Kennedys]]''—which saw the highest ratings of any CNN original series premiere to-date, with 1.7 million viewers. ''Parts Unknown'' concluded after the 2018 [[suicide]] of its host [[Anthony Bourdain]]; CNN announced several new miniseries and docuseries for 2019, including ''American Style'' (a miniseries produced by the digital media company [[Vox Media]]),<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.thewrap.com/vox-entertainment-produce-new-cnn-original-series-american-style/|title=Vox Entertainment to Produce New CNN Original Series 'American Style'|date=April 11, 2018|website=TheWrap|language=en-US|access-date=May 5, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181215224707/https://www.thewrap.com/vox-entertainment-produce-new-cnn-original-series-american-style/|archive-date=December 15, 2018|url-status=live}}</ref> ''The Redemption Project with [[Van Jones]]'', ''Chasing Life with [[Sanjay Gupta]]'', ''Tricky Dick'' (a miniseries chronicling [[Richard Nixon]]), ''[[The Movies (miniseries)|The Movies]]'' (a spin-off of the Hanks/Goetzman decades miniseries), and ''Once in a Great City: Detroit 1962–64''.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://variety.com/2019/tv/news/cnn-van-jones-anthony-bourdain-original-series-1203164234/|title=CNN Original Series Ride News Tide to Multiplatform Success|last=Littleton|first=Cynthia|date=March 15, 2019|website=[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]]|language=en|access-date=May 5, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190929224007/https://variety.com/2019/tv/news/cnn-van-jones-anthony-bourdain-original-series-1203164234/|archive-date=September 29, 2019|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://deadline.com/2018/04/cnn-six-new-original-series-2019-slate-projects-from-sanjay-gupta-vox-media-1202362425/|title=CNN Adds Six New Original Series To 2019 Slate; Projects From Sanjay Gupta, Vox Media, More|last=Petski|first=Denise|date=April 11, 2018|website=[[Deadline Hollywood|Deadline]]|language=en|access-date=May 5, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190505152227/https://deadline.com/2018/04/cnn-six-new-original-series-2019-slate-projects-from-sanjay-gupta-vox-media-1202362425/|archive-date=May 5, 2019|url-status=live}}</ref>

With the takeover of CNN by [[Chris Licht]] and Warner Bros. Discovery, it was announced in October 2022 that CNN would cut back on acquisitions and commissions from third-parties as a cost-cutting measure, but Licht stressed that "longform content remains an important pillar of our programming", while the network announced a slate for 2023 that would include commissions such as ''Giuliani: What Happened to America's Mayor?'', ''United States of Scandal'', and ''[[The 2010s (miniseries)|The 2010s]]''.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Johnson |first=Ted |date=2022-12-13 |title=CNN Unveils 2023 Original Series And Films Slate: Projects Include 'Giuliani,' Jake Tapper-Hosted 'United States Of Scandal' And 'The 2010s' |url=https://deadline.com/2022/12/cnn-original-series-films-rudy-giuliani-1235197621/ |access-date=2022-12-13 |website=[[Deadline Hollywood|Deadline]]|language=en-US |archive-date=December 13, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221213145313/https://deadline.com/2022/12/cnn-original-series-films-rudy-giuliani-1235197621/ |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Johnson |first=Ted |date=2022-10-28 |title=CNN To Scale Back Original Series And Films As It Looks To Move Longform In House |url=https://deadline.com/2022/10/cnn-to-scale-back-original-series-and-films-1235157404/ |access-date=2022-12-13 |website=[[Deadline Hollywood|Deadline]]|language=en-US |archive-date=March 22, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230322123346/https://deadline.com/2022/10/cnn-to-scale-back-original-series-and-films-1235157404/ |url-status=live }}</ref>
