Variety and CNN are back in business for awards season.

After producing Actors on Actors and a town hall with Timothée Chalamet and Matthew McConaughey, the two legacy brands have unveiled an expanded content partnership. Together, the brands will develop, produce and distribute premium content throughout awards season. 

“This partnership allows us to expand how we serve CNN audiences, bringing them closer to the conversations and the artists defining entertainment today,” said Amy Entelis, executive vice president of talent, CNN Originals and creative development for CNN Worldwide, in a statement. “Together with Variety, we’re building on a model that delivers dynamic and high-impact programming, along with the kind of cultural moments that resonate far beyond the screen, for our subscribers.”
