    CNN original series now have a new home and the best part? Consumers can watch everything for free.

    The news network launched an ad-supported streaming channel Wednesday that will primarily be dedicated to CNN’s original programming, TVLine has confirmed. The channel, simply titled “CNN Originals,” will include a variety of shows from the network’s library (some of which are hosted by Anthony Bourdain, W. Kamau Bell, Lisa Ling and Dr. Sanjay Gupta), and will be curated in a linear stream.

    Series set to be available on the service include Amanpour: Sex and Love Around the World, Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown , Chasing Life With Dr. Sanjay Gupta, Diana , Lincoln: Divided We Stand , Soundtracks: Songs That Defined History , This is Life With Lisa Ling , The Wonder List With Bill Weir and United Shades of America With W. Kamau Bell , many of which are currently only available on Max.

    The new CNN FAST channel (which stands for “free ad-supported streaming television”) is available on Amazon Freevee, Prime Video and on Fire TV services, in addition to Plex. The company has “additional channels planned to launch in the month ahead,” according to executive vice president of CNN International Commercial Phil Nelson.

    “We’re very happy to expand CNN’s FAST portfolio with the new compelling offering of a CNN Originals channel, bringing some of the very best, award-winning long-form content in the business to audiences in this format,” Nelson said in a statement.

    The Hollywood Reporter was first to report the news.
