CNN Original Series: CNN's Non-Scripted Programming Strand

CNN Original Series is the label under which CNN Worldwide presents non-scripted programming. According to CNN, its award-winning portfolio includes non-scripted programming from CNN Original Series and CNN Films, made for broadcast, streaming and distribution across multiple platforms. The strand is therefore one of two named non-scripted programming units described by the company, distinct from its daily news output.

CNN states that its programming can be found on the CNN, CNN International and CNN en Español channels. Streaming access includes the CNN Originals hub on discovery+ and Max. Programming is also available for pay TV subscription via CNN.com, CNN apps and cable operator platforms.

CNN's about pages point to a full rundown of all CNN daily programming, which is where broadcast times for its output are listed. The same section links to biographies of CNN's anchors, correspondents and executives. Readers seeking details on individual titles, submissions or commissioning arrangements will find that the source material does not set out such processes.

CNN states that its journalists, designers and technologists are united by a mission to inform, engage and empower, and that it stands for excellence in its journalism and products. Any use of AI, generative or otherwise, must adhere to CNN's values and must not undermine audience trust, with accuracy and fair representation remaining the top priority. CNN says employees have oversight and responsibility for the AI systems and tools used and the content they produce, and that it signifies clearly when audiences are seeing, hearing or reading AI content. Due diligence is applied to internally built tools and potential partners against both CNN and Warner Bros. Discovery AI principles.
