Enrique Acevedo, Seth Doane, Wesley Lowery
and Laurie Segall — will work on “60 Minutes+.”
Jonathan Blakely, who also worked on the Quibi
show, will be executive producer.
While “60 in 6” had shorter stories than the TV
version of “60 Minutes,” the Paramount version
will go longer. Each episode will consist of a single
20-minute story. To start, three separate episodes
are dropping next week: Segall’s interview with
QAnon’s Jacob Chansley, Acevedo’s profile of
reggaeton star J Balvin and Doane’s story on the
dangers of shrinking glaciers.
For CBS, it’s the latest effort to extend the
brand for one of television’s oldest and most
successful news programs. Sunday’s episode of
“60 Minutes” was the most-watched program
on television last week.
