‘Empire of Influence,’ the long-awaited documentary series about the Murdoch family, will get a proper liftoff this Sunday.
-y material of all comes in the series finale, which unpacks Murdoch’s stunner of a decision to sell his crown jewel, 21st Century Fox, to Disney. Rutenberg describes the deal for viewers as “the true breaking point” between Lachlan and James, whose rift had already widened not only over Lachlan’s elevation within the company, but James’s growing discomfort with the pro-MAGA rhetoric of Fox News primetime.
For CNN, which has previously aired documentary series about the Kennedys, the Bushes, and the Windsors,is the network’s first original series about a business dynasty. It’s also the first time CNN has collaborated on something like this with another major global news organization. CNN Originals optioned thefeature not long after its publication and engaged Left/Right as its production partner.
