CNN Original Series to Premiere "Eva Longoria: Searching for Mexico" Sunday, March 26 at 10pm ET/PT on CNN
CNN Original Series will premiere Eva Longoria: Searching for Mexico on Sunday, March 26 at 10pm ET/PT on CNN. Produced by RAW, the film and television company behind the two-time Emmy(R) Award-winning Stanley Tucci: Searching for Italy, the six-part series follows award-winning actress, producer, director and activist Eva Longoria across the many vibrant regions of Mexico, revealing its unique and colorful cuisines.
"I am so excited for viewers to tune in and see firsthand what I love so much about Mexico - the food, the people, the cultures," said Eva Longoria, Host and Executive Producer. "This journey allowed me to further appreciate and fall in love with my roots and I feel so honored that CNN entrusted me with this unforgettable, once in a lifetime, experience."
Executive produced by Stanley Tucci, Searching for Mexico invites audiences to journey with Longoria across the lands of her ancestors as she explores how Mexico's rich culture, landscape, and history have helped shape its cuisine, loved the world over. This season, Longoria surveys the cutting-edge gastronomic fare of Mexico City; discovers Mayan influences in Yucatan cuisine, including the slow-cooked cochinita pibil; and ventures to the home of Latin America's chocolate trade, Oaxaca, where she samples the velvety chocolate mole. As Longoria enjoys a festive carne asada in Nuevo Leon, traditional birria stew in Jalisco, and walks in the footsteps of her own ancestor, Lorenzo Longoria, in the exact spot in Veracruz where he arrived 400 years ago, she unlocks the secrets behind Mexico's most treasured and sometimes surprising dishes. Searching for Mexico will regularly air Sundays at 9pm ET/PT.
"CNN Original Series have transported us around the globe and our viewers are always eager for a journey, especially when it involves food," said Amy Entelis, Executive Vice President for Talent & Content Development, CNN Worldwide. "We are honored to partner with the multi-talented Eva Longoria on her first hosted non-fiction series, introducing CNN audiences to new dishes and flavors - and a new side of Eva - as she explores the many of wonders of Mexico."
Executive Producers for Searching for Mexico are Eva Longoria, Ben Spector and Stanley Tucci with RAW's Shauna Minoprio, Eve Kay and Jess Orr. Amy Entelis, Lyle Gamm and Jon Adler are the Executive Producers for CNN Original Series.
