First, we’re thrilled to announce that some of entertainment’s biggest nonfiction storytellers have joined the Disney+ family! Emmy award-winning producers Supper Club — David Gelb and Brian McGinn (of Chef’s Table), and Jason Sterman (of 13th)  — will bring their unique stories to the streaming service.

“The storytelling legacy of The Walt Disney Company had a formative and lasting impact on us growing up, and we are honored to be welcomed into this exciting new chapter of such a storied studio,” Jason said.

The original series that Supper Club will be working on include:
