THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION is a six-part, twelve hour series that focuses on America’s founding struggle. This series will present the story of the men and women of the Revolutionary generation, their humanity in victory and defeat, and the crisis that they lived through. By weaving together accounts of American political leaders and their British counterparts with the perspectives of the so-called ordinary people who waged and witnessed war, The American Revolution will be an expansive, evenhanded look at the virtues and the contradictions in the fight for independence and the birth of the United States.
THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION, created by Ken Burns, Sarah Botstein & David Schmidt, will premiere on Sunday, November 16, 2025, and air for six consecutive nights through Friday, November 21 at 8:00-10:00 p.m. ET. The full series will be available to stream beginning Sunday, November 16 at PBS.org and on the PBS App.
