CNN and HBO Max are cooking up a profile of a beloved TV chef: A feature-length documentary about Anthony Bourdain is in development, TVLine has learned, and will air on CNN and stream on HBO Max following a theatrical run.
Prior to his death by suicide last year, Bourdain hosted CNN’s food-focused travel series Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown, starting in 2013.
He also hosted Travel Channel’s Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations and appeared often as a guest judge on Bravo’s Top Chef.
“It requires a filmmaker as expert and prolific as Morgan Neville to capture the essence of a raconteur and world explorer like Anthony Bourdain,” HBO Max head of original content Sarah Aubrey said in a statement.
