As CNN continues to drift toward reality television under the direction of Jeff Zucker, the network’s newest original series will follow two “marijuana moguls” hoping to find riches in post-legalization Colorado. Aptly titled “High Profits,” the show stars Brian Rogers and Caitlin McGuire, the owners of a legal marijuana dispensary, CNN announced on Thursday in a press release:
Like the oil tycoons and dot-com magnates that have come before them, the owners of Breckenridge Cannabis Club (BCC) are at the forefront of a new industry that’s prime for an abundance of wealth and opportunity.
Amid layoffs and “reshaping” at CNN, a show that focuses on the dealings of a fledgling marijuana franchise might just have the “attitude” and “take” Zucker needs to capture that younger audience he’s been searching for these last two years.
