CBS's 60 Minutes Bets on a Bold Return With a Fresh Look

CBS News is rebooting 60 Minutes for its new season under Bari Weiss with Nick Bilton as executive producer, aiming to modernize while preserving the show's core format. Four veterans—Lesley Stahl, Bill Whitaker, Jon Wertheim, and Norah O'Donnell—will lead the relaunch, as Bilton hints at gonzo journalism and a new end segment. The network faces challenges from staff turnover and scrutiny over the overhaul, but plans to keep the three-segment structure and NFL launch window, including a Rams feature and an Iran pilot interview, to maintain the show’s DNA while trying something new.
