Universal Music Group is teaming up with CNN to produce a new television series, set to premiere later this year.
Hosted by Fred Armisen, the show promises an unprecedented behind-the-scenes look at UMG's massive music archives, spotlighting legendary artists such as Nirvana, Guns N' Roses, and more.
The series aims to explore pivotal moments in pop culture through the stories of iconic artists and songwriters who changed the course of music history.
The archive contains priceless artifacts like original recordings, master tapes, rare photos, alternative album art, and unreleased performances that have never been seen or heard publicly.
Speaking at UMG's "Music Is Universal" showcase, Armisen expressed his enthusiasm for the project: "I'm honored and I can't wait to get started with this project." The series aims to give fans a unique archival-driven experience unearthing treasures from UMG's collection that span decades of music history.
Details regarding the premiere date and episode structure are expected to be announced in the coming months.
