LOS ANGELES, July 27, 2021 - FX has extended its partnership with The New York Times by ordering additional documentary films under The New York Times Presents banner, it was announced today by Nick Grad, President, Original Programming, FX Entertainment.

The New York Times Presents features a series of standalone documentary films powered by the unparalleled journalism and insight of journalists at The New York Times, bringing viewers close to the essential stories of our time.

"Framing Britney Spears" received Emmy(R) Award nominations for Outstanding Documentary or Nonfiction Special and Outstanding Picture Editing for a Nonfiction Program, as well as a TCA Award nomination for Outstanding Achievement in News and Information. The film continues to generate intense interest, public debate and to capture the pop culture zeitgeist. The New York Times Presents also won the NAACP Image Award for Outstanding News/Information (Series or Special) for "The Killing of Breonna Taylor."

"The New York Times Presents continues to deliver some of the most compelling and timely news and feature documentaries on television, typified by the outstanding work on 'Framing Britney Spears' and 'The Killing of Breonna Taylor,'" said Grad. "Each individual film reflects the expertise of the reporters and filmmakers, and FX's commitment to fully exploring these and future stories with The New York Times, Left/Right and the rest of the creative team."

Their savvy, creative team has been invaluable in helping our newsroom expand its documentary ambitions. Our goals and mission are aligned in creating films that are truly distinctive, surprising viewers with new perspectives and bringing them stories that have impact across the world."

The eighth film from The New York Times Presents is scheduled to air in September on FX and Hulu: "Move Fast and Vape Things."

A New York Times investigation reveals how this Silicon Valley darling lost its way and is now accused of bringing a new scourge to a whole new generation: vaping.
