Anthony Bourdain fans will be able to remember the celebrated chef, author and television host in a new way.
On Tuesday, Oct. 28, CNN announced the launch of an All Access subscription tier in the United States that includes never-before-streamed episodes from the Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown companion series, Prime Cuts.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, after airing, episodes of Prime Cuts never ran on CNN again and were not included on CNN+ or CNN Max streaming libraries.
CNN told the outlet that “these reflective, candid conversations reveal behind-the-scenes insights and Tony at his best — deeply honest about his travels, his work, and what the journey meant to him.”
With the launch of CNN’s new subscription tier, fans will also be able to stream all 12 seasons of Parts Unknown and watch the 2021 film Roadrunner: A Film About Anthony Bourdain.
The All Access subscription tier is available for $6.99 per month or $69.99 annually, and according to a CNN press release, is “the most complete way to experience CNN across web, mobile and connected TV apps.”

Bourdain died in June 2018 at the age of 61. At the time, CNN confirmed his death in a statement to PEOPLE, expressing their “extraordinary sadness.”
