A long-awaited documentary series exploring New York City’s history will return with two new episodes, marking its first additions in over two decades. Originally launched in 1999, the project paused after its eighth installment in 2003, which centered on the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks. The upcoming episodes will extend the series’ coverage, offering fresh perspectives on the city’s evolution. Fans of urban history and post-9/11 narratives will find this continuation a compelling update.
PBS announced Thursday that it will debut two new episodes of Burns’ New York: A Documentary Film on Sept. 21 and 22. They’ll be the ninth and 10th episodes of the project, which first aired in 1999 and whose most recent episode, focused primarily on the World Trade Center, aired in 2003, two years after the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
