CNN’s original series Inside Man, produced and hosted by Oscar-nominated documentary filmmaker Morgan Spurlock, has been renewed for a second season.
The new season of eight, one-hour episodes launches in spring 2014.
Inside Man is produced by Warrior Poets with Morgan Spurlock serving as executive producer, and producers Jeremy Chilnick and Matthew Galkin.
“Coming on the heels of a terrific first season – not to mention a successful documentary covering the world’s biggest boy band – Morgan is ready to tackle even more provocative stories on CNN,” said Jeff Zucker, President, CNN Worldwide. “Inside Man is the perfect example of the type of programme our audience is looking for when we aren’t covering the news of the day. We are happy to be continuing our relationship with Morgan and his excellent production team at Warrior Poets.”
Spurlock made his first foray into television as executive producer of the FX series 30 Days (2005-2008). Most recently, he has served as director of One Direction: This is Us, the 3-D concert film for the mega-hit boy band, and earlier as executive producer of the documentary series A Day in the Life on Hulu, and the films, Comic-Con Episode IV: A Fan’s Hope, The Dotted Line on ESPN and Mansome on Yahoo.
