Produced by Emmy–award winning Tom Hanks, Gary Goetzman and Mark Herzog, The Nineties is the fourth series in the acclaimed documentary strand chronicling American society and popular culture in the later twentieth century.

A decade that saw technological triumphs and terrorist tragedies, inter-racial conflict in Los Angeles to New York and all points in between, the grunge revolution and hip-hop's ascendance to the mainstream. A series of extraordinary events crowded across the world stage, including the collapse of the Soviet Union, the reunification of Germany and the end of apartheid in South Africa, while everything from culture to commerce was irrevocably altered as the world went online, and a groundbreaking, genre-bending new era of television changed the world forever.

This epic series uses rare archival footage and interviews with renowned journalists, historians, musicians and television cast and crew to give us a window into the decade that set the stage for the way we live today.
