Turner’s TNT has greenlit Who Run the World? (working title), a new documentary series executive-produced by Emmy® winner Sarah Jessica Parker (Sex and the City, Divorce), Oscar® nominee Morgan Spurlock (Super Size Me, The Greatest Movie Ever Sold) and Refinery29.
The new docu-series will focus on the issues that women face in today’s world. Who Run the World? is produced by Spurlock’s Warrior Poets and Parker’s Pretty Matches Productions, in partnership with Refinery29 and in association with Turner’s Studio T.
Who Run the World? is part of TNT’s ongoing shift to more premium scripted dramas and high-profile documentary programming. Slated to premiere later this year, the series will unpack the most divisive and complicated issues facing women today, from the policing of their bodies and judgments of their family planning choices to the microaggressions they face in the media, the workplace, and everyday life. Exploring the complexities, advances and persistent inequalities that encapsulate how far women have come and how far society still has to go, it will ask if – and how – we can ever live in a truly equal world.
No word when Who Run the World? will premiere, but we’ll keep you up to date.
