Synopsis
Seven years after capturing the heart of his co-anchor and wife, Veronica Corningstone, Burgundy is offered the chance of lifetime: to be in on the world’s first 24-hour global cable news network, GNN, in New York City. The newsman quickly rounds up his classic news team—sports guy Champ Kind, man on the street Brian Fantana and weatherman Brick Tamland—and heads to The Big Apple. Upon arriving, he is quickly challenged by his strong female boss, Linda Jackson, Australian multi-millionaire network owner Kench Allenby and a chiseled popular lead anchor, Jack Lime. It’s up to Ron and the team to find their own way to the top of news—and the top of the ratings.

Synopsis
Seven years after capturing the heart of his co-anchor and wife, Veronica Corningstone, Burgundy is offered the chance of lifetime: to be in on the world’s first 24-hour global cable news network, GNN, in New York City. The newsman quickly rounds up his classic news team—sports guy Champ Kind, man on the street Brian Fantana and weatherman Brick Tamland—and heads to The Big Apple. Upon arriving, he is quickly challenged by his strong female boss, Linda Jackson, Australian multi-millionaire network owner Kench Allenby and a chiseled popular lead anchor, Jack Lime. It’s up to Ron and the team to find their own way to the top of news—and the top of the ratings.
