CNN Originals Debuts Trailer and Premiere Date for Newest Travelogue "Tony Shalhoub Breaking Bread"

SIX-PART SERIES PREMIERES ON SUNDAY, OCTOBER 5 AT 9PM ET/PT

NEW YORK, NY - (September 4, 2025) - CNN Originals will premiere Tony Shalhoub Breaking Bread on Sunday, October 5 at 9pm ET/PT on CNN. Produced by Lionsgate Alternative Television and originating from its Blackfin label, the six-episode CNN Original Series follows the Tony(R), Golden Globe(R), and four-time Emmy(R) Award-winning actor on a mouthwatering journey around the world, with bread serving as the conduit into a variety of international cuisines and cultures. The series will air Sundays at 9pm ET/PT on CNN.

"This past year, shooting Breaking Bread has been one of the most joyous and revealing experiences, introducing me to people and places that I never could have expected," said Shalhoub. "I can't wait for audiences to connect with what I discovered - that humanity can be found at every dinner table."

Breaking Bread introduces the authentic Tony behind the neurotic characters he plays - a passionate food-lover who makes bread and breaks bread with local bakers, top chefs, home cooks and everyone in between. The ultimate comfort food, bread is the foundation for any shared meal, and with each delicious bite, Shalhoub takes viewers along for a global adventure forming deep connections with communities united by this unassuming dinner table staple.

This season, Shalhoub tastes his way through baguettes and bouillabaisse in Marseille, France, fluffy milk bread and red bean paste buns in Tokyo, Japan, and even bread baked in the side of a volcano in Iceland. He finds a taste of his heritage in São Paulo, Brazil, home to one of the largest Lebanese populations in the world. He also enjoys a smattering of local cheeses in his hometown of Green Bay, Wisconsin and a taste of the Caribbean, Chinatown and an infamous Irish soda bread in his long-time home New York City.

"Breaking bread is one of the most time-honored forms of human connection, and Tony Shalhoub embodies this ideal to a tee," said Amy Entelis, executive vice president of talent, CNN Originals and creative development for CNN Worldwide. "His passion for food is only matched by his passion for people and their stories, making him a natural addition to the CNN Original Series legacy of food and travel hosts."

Executive producers for Breaking Bread are Tony Shalhoub and Tamara Weiss, Lionsgate's Geno McDermott, Igal Svet, and Sun de Graaf along with Amy Entelis, Lyle Gamm and Roxanna Sherwood for CNN Original Series. Dara Horenblas is the showrunner and executive producer. The show will be distributed internationally by Lionsgate.

Breaking Bread builds upon CNN Original Series' enduring success in host-led food and travel programming, joining a library of premium, award-winning storytelling available today for both Pay TV and HBO Max streaming subscribers.

Breaking Bread will stream live for pay TV subscribers via CNN.com, CNN connected TV and mobile apps on Sunday, October 5. It will also be available on demand beginning Monday, October 6 to pay TV subscribers via CNN.com, CNN connected TV and mobile apps, and Cable Operator Platforms.
