GREENLIGHT OF “AEW: ALL ACCESS”
February 22, 2023 – TBS has greenlit its first new unscripted series of 2023, further
expanding its All Elite Wrestling franchise with “AEW: All Access” – a follow-doc from
the perspectives of the league’s biggest stars. The new series, which was just
announced during another red-hot episode of TBS’ “AEW: Dynamite,” is slated to

feature Adam Cole, Dr. Britt Baker, Sammy Guevara, Tay Conti, The Young
Bucks, Saraya, Wardlow, and Eddie Kingston along with AEW CEO, GM and
Head of Creative Tony Khan.
Each episode will showcase AEW’s stars as they navigate the week-to-week
challenges to remain at the top, and will track the rivalries between talent as they
vie for fans’ attention. Over the course of the series, viewers will get the chance
to follow the contentious lead-up to AEW’s major wrestling events and matches.
“AEW: All Access” will complement TBS and TNT’s portfolio of top-rated
wrestling content, including “AEW: Dynamite” and “AEW: Rampage”
respectively.
“AEW has such an amazingly loyal and dedicated fan base that brings in more
than 4 million viewers to TBS every Wednesday night,” said Jason Sarlanis,
President, Turner Networks, ID, & HLN. Linear and Streaming. “With ‘All Access,’
we are bringing that incredible audience a whole new way to experience the
wrestling universe they love. We have a powerful partnership with Tony Khan
and AEW. With this new series we are expanding the franchise in a way that
invites viewers inside the world of wrestling like never before.”
“We’re always looking for new ways to engage with fans and give them unique
access to our incredible talent. With the new ‘AEW: All Access’ series, they’ll
have a chance to peek behind the curtain and into the lives of their favorite
wrestlers like never before,” said Tony Khan. “To show the human side of some
of these larger-than-life figures will give fans a rare perspective about who these
wrestlers are when the cameras aren’t typically on.”
From Warner Bros. Unscripted Television, “AEW: All Access” is produced by
Shed Media in association with AEW and Activist Artists Management. Executive
producers are Tony Khan, Dan Peirson, Lisa Shannon, Sam Berns, Alan Bloom,
