CNN to Stream Unreleased Anthony Bourdain Content on New Platform
28 Oct
Summary
- CNN's new streaming service to include never-before-seen Bourdain episodes
- "Prime Cuts" series provided behind-the-scenes look at "Parts Unknown"
- Bourdain's entire CNN collection, including "Parts Unknown" and "Roadrunner" film, to be available
On October 28, 2025, CNN will launch its new streaming service, and it has a special treat in store for fans of the late Anthony Bourdain. The network will be including Bourdain programming that has never been available to stream before, including the "Prime Cuts" series.
"Prime Cuts" served as a companion to Bourdain's flagship show, "Parts Unknown," providing a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the series. The hour-long episodes featured candid conversations with Bourdain as he reminisced about the people, food, and cultures he encountered on his travels. These "reflective, candid conversations" offered unique insights into Bourdain and the making of the show.
The new streaming service will mark the first time that Bourdain's entire CNN collection, including every episode of "Parts Unknown" and the 2021 documentary "Roadrunner: A Film About Anthony Bourdain," will be available to stream. This is a significant development, as many of the "Prime Cuts" episodes had only aired once on CNN over a decade ago and were not included in previous streaming libraries.
Bourdain, who passed away in 2018 at the age of 61, remains a cultural icon, and his work with CNN was instrumental in the network's push into original programming. "Parts Unknown" effectively kickstarted CNN's foray into the genre, lending the network instant credibility and gravitas.
