CNN has announced a new project with Kara Swisher, premiering later this spring as part of the CNN Original Series suite.
Kara Swisher Wants to Live Forever will investigate the rise of anti-aging products and services and will attempt to separate the science from the myths when it comes to how to live longer.
“For too long, the longevity space has been captive of the rich tech bros, jacked dude influencers, nonsense sellers of useless supplements, and some lady who sells candles that are named after her private parts (sorry, Gwyneth, but you started it!),” said Swisher.
“Well, after enduring endless conversations over the years about how to live forever, I want in, except I am going to show the way for the rest of us, and it will be grounded in science and facts about the best and most affordable ways to stay healthy, happy and smart,” Swisher continued. “Also, I took ketamine, so you don’t have to.”
CNN described Kara Swisher as “both reporter and test subject” as she investigates “the unconventional emerging technologies shaping how long and how well we may live.”
“This series is driven by Kara’s relentless curiosity, razor-sharp analysis, and singular access,” said Amy Entelis, executive vice president of talent, CNN Originals and creative development for CNN Worldwide. “With clear-eyed, thought-provoking storytelling, Kara takes viewers behind the curtain to examine the science, money and influence shaping the race to live longer.”
