CNN announced today that it will co-produce the 23rd season of Variety’s Actors on Actors, the Emmy® Award-winning interview franchise that pairs the year’s most compelling performers for candid conversations about craft, process, and the work driving this awards season.
Under this new collaboration, Actors on Actors will debut exclusively for subscribers of CNN’s new streaming offering before premiering across Variety’s digital channels, expanding the reach of the acclaimed franchise to audiences across both brands for the first time. Episodes will begin to roll out on both CNN and Variety’s platforms on Friday, December 5.
“Actors on Actors has become a defining driver of the cultural and awards conversation and Variety has built a truly singular format. These interviews exemplify the contemporary, conversation-driven programming that resonates deeply with CNN viewers,” said Amy Entelis, executive vice president of talent, CNN Originals and creative development for CNN Worldwide.
“We are thrilled to bring Variety’s Actors on Actors to CNN, the perfect partner for our award-winning series,” said Ramin Setoodeh, Variety’s co-editor in chief and co-president. “Our next season, in which Hollywood A-listers once again get candid in one-on-one conversations, features some of the most revelatory, intimate and hilarious moments yet. We cannot wait for fans of this franchise to watch - and rewatch - these episodes on CNN’s new streaming offering and on Variety's social media channels.”
A selection of episodes from previous seasons of Actors on Actors are available to stream now for CNN’s streaming subscribers on CNN.com and CNN’s connected TV and mobile apps.
Additional details on season 23, including participants and episode premiere dates, will be announced in the coming weeks. The upcoming season of Actors on Actors is executive produced by Ramin Setoodeh and Donna Pennestri for Variety along with Amy Entelis and Roxanna Sherwood for CNN Originals.
