With the working title My Happy Place , the series will feature the celebrities as “they venture to a personally meaningful place in their lives,” the network said.

Alan Cumming, Taraji P. Henson, Simu Liu, Billy Porter, Octavia Spencer and Questlove are on the roster of hosts.

The series is the latest travel offering from CNN Originals. The network earlier this year featured Eva Longoria: Searching for Mexico. That followed the two seasons of Stanley Tucci: Searching for Italy . The series was dropped in 2022 as the network scaled back originals from outside suppliers, and Tucci has since taken the show to National Geographic.

The executive producers of My Happy Place are Andrew Fried, Jamie Granet Bederman, Sarina Roma and Jane Yusim for Boardwalk Pictures, along with Entelis, Lyle Gamm and Katie Hinman for CNN Original Series. Alexandra Lowry is showrunner and an executive producer.
