Quote

Based on Jonathan Mahler and Jim Rutenberg's riveting New York Times Magazine article "How Rupert Murdoch's Empire of Influence Remade the World," this CNN Original Series explores the legacy of media mogul Rupert Murdoch and the dynasty he built. Featuring exclusive reporting from The New York Times, interviews with people who worked inside the Murdoch companies, and decades of rich archival footage, this seven-part series goes behind the scenes of the improbable rise of a media tycoon, his outsized influence around the globe, and the intense succession battle between his children over who will inherit his throne. Cinematic and thrilling, The Murdochs: Empire of Influence charts the high-stakes deal making, political maneuvering, and dynastic betrayals - and how the ambitions of one family birthed one of the largest media empires in history.

This CNN 7-episode documentary series premieres on Sunday, September 25 with 2 back to back episodes from 9-11pm ET and will continue on Sundays at 10pm ET. For those keeping track, this was originally set to air on CNN's streaming service CNN+ before the service got kiboshed due to the Discovery/Warner merger.
