The Sixties is a documentary miniseries which premiered on CNN on May 29, 2014. Produced by Tom Hanks and Gary Goetzman's studio Playtone, the 10-part series chronicled events and popular culture of the United States during the 1960s.[1]
The premiere of The Sixties was a ratings success for CNN; it was seen by 1.39 million total viewers,[citation needed] finishing in between Fox News Channel and MSNBC in total viewership, and beating its rivals in key demographic audience share. CNN has since commissioned follow-ups covering later decades, including The Seventies (2015),[1][2] The Eighties (2016),[3] The Nineties (2017),[4] The 2000s (2018), and The 2010s (2023).[5] In 2018, Playtone, which recounted the events of 1968 as episode 8 in this series, revisited the year in more detail in the four-part series 1968: The Year That Changed America.[6][7]
