Since Anthony Bourdain’s death last week at age 61, fans of the man who influenced America’s palate and approach to travel have been turning to the vault of television programming that he left behind.
Old episodes of his CNN series, “Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown,” were scheduled to come off Netflix on June 16, prompting a bit of an internet outcry. But the streaming provider announced Tuesday that they “extended our agreement that will keep Parts Unknown on the service for months to come.”
Eight of the 11 seasons can be streamed on Netflix. (Episodes of his CNN show, as well as its predecessor “No Reservations,” are for sale on Amazon and iTunes, and DirecTV customers can access certain episodes).
Bourdain’s first TV series, “A Cook’s Tour,” premiered on the Food Network in 2002 and lasted two seasons, but his breakout TV success came with Travel Channel’s “No Reservations,” which produced new episodes from 2005 to 2012. The Travel Channel also announced on Tuesday that it would air “No Reservations” at 10 and 11 p.m. every Tuesday until July 3.
