GZERO World with Ian Bremmer

Season 4 of GZERO World with Ian Bremmer, GZERO's award-winning weekly global affairs series, launches on US public television nationwide beginning Friday, July 9 (check local listings). The new season begins with an interview with Adam Grant, acclaimed organizational psychologist and bestselling author, who will discuss how the workplace – and life in general – has been irrevocably changed by the coronavirus pandemic. Other notable guests in the first weeks of the new season include Michèle Flournoy, former U.S. Defense Department official, Ben Rhodes, former Deputy National Security Advisor, and Singapore's Foreign Minister Vivian Balakrishnan.


Host Ian Bremmer (president and founder of GZERO Media and its parent company, Eurasia Group) provides insightful commentary and analysis on global politics, and conducts in-depth interviews with world leaders and thought leaders each week. This season's themes and topics include the technology competition between the US and China; equitable coronavirus vaccine distribution; continued monitoring of global pandemic hotspots; President Biden's approach to transatlantic and global alliances; conflict and change in the Middle East; data and privacy; immigration and refugee issues; and political developments in Latin America.

Last season, GZERO World hosted news-making interviews with Christine Lagarde, President of the European Central Bank, Jens Stoltenberg, NATO's Secretary General, and Kyriakos Mitsotakis, Prime Minister of Greece, among many others, and won a 2021 Telly Award in the Television – News Feature category for an episode filmed on location at the 2020 Munich Security Conference titled "The Biggest Global Security Threat."

GZERO World episodes on public television also feature PUPPET REGIME, our satirical series that uses puppetry to parody world leaders from Joe Biden, Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin and Angela Merkel to tech titans like Mark Zuckerberg. PUPPET REGIME also earned a Telly Award in the Online – Series: Comedy category.
