According to a press release, the program will be "a collection of unique and immersive single subject, one-hour episodes."
“Powered by CNN’s unmatched global journalism operation, The Whole Story goes behind the headlines, touching every continent and corner of the planet, as we bring our viewers into the heart of the essential stories of our time,” said CNN Chairman and CEO Chris Licht.
The network also revealed the subjects of the first several episodes. The first episode is titled "What Happened to San Francisco?" followed by "Shaken: Baby Powder on Trial," "Magic Mushrooms," "Charles & Camilla," and "A Migrant’s Journey."
Cooper already hosts Anderson Cooper 360° for CNN, which airs on weeknights at 8 p.m. With the new gig, Cooper will host programs on the network six out of seven nights a week, only taking a break on Saturdays. Anderson Cooper 360° first aired in 2003.
Since 2006, Cooper has also contributed to reports on CBS News's 60 Minutes, which airs at 7 p.m. on Sundays. He has been able to do so through an agreement between the two networks. According to CBS News's website, the 2022-2023 season of the program is his 17th.
