Christiane Amanpour is bringing a new series to CNN soon, and she is not sharing her views on foreign nations and the wars taking place in them. Instead, she is giving viewers of the news network a more intimate look at people around in Christiane Amanpour: Sex & Love Around the World. This new series will premiere next month.
CNN revealed more about this new series in a press release. Check that out below.
“The new six-part CNN Original Series, Christiane Amanpour: Sex & Love Around the World, premieres Saturday, March 17, at 10 p.m. ET/PT. Having built an illustrious career interviewing global power players and reporting from war-torn countries, renowned journalist Christiane Amanpour is now turning her gaze to the shifting landscapes of intimacy, love, and pleasure in an increasingly complex world.
Amanpour traveled to Asia, Africa, Europe, and the Middle East, to meet everyday individuals who are shaping the idea of modern love. Whether single and dating in Accra, married and sexless in Tokyo, inspired by ancient erotica in Beirut, or transgender in Shanghai – women and men are all pushing the boundaries on sexual satisfaction, consent, and connection.
“I’ve long been an admirer of Christiane’s brilliant work as a journalist, and was thrilled to have the opportunity to work with her on this project,” said executive producer Anthony Bourdain. “Between Christiane’s deep and broad experience as an incisive, experienced and empathetic reporter, who has worked all over the world, her genuine passion for this project and Zero Point Zero’s proven ability to execute just this type of global content, Sex and Love Around the World represents some of the best of what CNN Original Series can do.”
“We jumped at the chance to work with Christiane Amanpour,” said ZPZ Co-Founder, Lydia Tenaglia. “She has been a powerful female voice in media for decades and the idea of exploring this important global topic though her unique lens felt like the perfect fit. All six episodes of this groundbreaking series were helmed by women, reflecting an accomplished and international mix of British, Danish, Israeli, Scottish, and Korean-American directors.”
Sex & Love Around the World is produced by Zero Point Zero with executive producers Anthony Bourdain, Lydia Tenaglia, Christopher Collins, Joe Caterini, Anna Chai, Amy Entelis and Lizzie Fox.

The CNN Series; Christiane Amanpour: Sex and Love Around the World has displayed to me what and how, a news show, can and should premiere and evolve into a unbiased and indespensible source of honest and mature, “worldly cultural” news reporting….kudos to Anthony Bourdine & ZPZ.
