CNN isn't out of the travel game just yet. After the end of Stanley Tucci: Searching for Italy caught a number of fans by surprise, it turns out it is expanding into a franchise with Eva Longoria: Searching for Mexico.
The exploration of Mexico with Longoria had been in the works originally as a CNN Plus exclusive series, but with the streaming service's quick shuttering in 2022, the series found its home on CNN's main network instead.
Here is everything that you need to know about Eva Longoria: Searching for Mexico, from when new episodes air to all the places in Mexico she is set to explore.

Eva Longoria: Searching for Mexico premise

Here is the official synopsis from CNN:
"Searching for Mexico invites audiences to journey with Longoria across the lands of her ancestors as she explores how Mexico's rich culture, landscape and history have helped shape its cuisine, loved the world over. This season, Longoria surveys the cutting-edge gastronomic fare of Mexico City; discovers Mayan influences in Yucatan cuisine, including the slow-cooked cochinita pibil; and ventures to the home of Latin America’s chocolate trade, Oaxaca, where she samples the velvety chocolate mole. As Longoria enjoys a festive carne asada in Nuevo Leon, traditional birria stew in Jalisco and walks in the footsteps of her own ancestor, Lorenzo Longoria, in the exact spot in Veracruz where he arrived 400 years ago, she unlocks the secrets behind Mexico's most treasured and sometimes surprising dishes."
