60 Minutes airs a new 90-monute episode on Sunday, November 17, at 7:30 pm ET (or immediately following the evening NFL game) and 7 pm PT on CBS.
Here is a preview of the stories 60 Minutes is covering this week:
The Promise: Twenty-three years later, over a thousand families are still waiting for news of loved ones lost in the World Trade Center attacks on 9/11. Scott Pelley looks at how efforts to search for and identify their remains have never stopped, driven by the promise made by the New York City Office of Chief Medical Examiner. Pelley visits their laboratory, which is using new advancements in DNA research and breakthrough techniques to provide answers for families holding on to hope.
Aussiewood: Jon Wertheim reports on a phenomenon that has long captured Hollywood: the outsized presence of Australians earning top billings and awards on the American silver screen – in front of and behind the camera. Wertheim interviews Aussie actress Sarah Snook and filmmaker Baz Luhrmann about the country’s renowned training grounds for the dramatic arts, their pathways to international theater, film and television and the Australian mindset on stardom.
Bhutan: Lesley Stahl travels to the remote, Buddhist kingdom of Bhutan, a tiny country that has fiercely protected its unique culture, declaring that within its borders, Gross National Happiness is more important than Gross National Product. But today, the country is facing a crisis – 9% of its population has left Bhutan for higher-paying jobs abroad, so the government has launched a high-stakes plan to help the economy and lure young Bhutanese back by developing an entirely new city from scratch – what the king is calling a “mindfulness” city.

How to watch 60 Minutes
If you're interested in watching 60 Minutes live every Sunday, you can easily do that if you have a traditional pay-TV plan, a TV antenna or a live TV streaming service that carries CBS, such as Fubo, Hulu with Live TV and YouTube TV. However, there is also an option if you have cut the cord in favor of streaming, as Paramount Plus with Showtime gives subscribers the ability to watch their local CBS channel live.
Paramount Plus is also a good on-demand option for watching 60 Minutes, as full episodes are available on the streaming platform after they air on CBS for all subscribers.
A free option to keep up with 60 Minutes is to watch clips of the show on YouTube. The 60 Minutes channel on YouTube offers extended looks at the pieces shown in episodes, though they may be broken up or not include everything shown on live TV.
60 Minutes has also launched a free, ad-supported streaming TV (FAST) channel on free streaming service Pluto TV, Paramount Plus and the CBS News streaming platform that allows viewers to watch old interviews from throughout the show's history.
