This Thursday, CBS Mornings offers a blend of cinematic insights and musical talent. Connie Nielsen, returning as Lucilla in Ridley Scott’s highly anticipated Gladiator II, joins the morning show to discuss the film which premieres on Friday. Nielsen is expected to share her perspective on working with the iconic director, having described Scott’s directing style as a “living organism.” It remains unclear what exactly that means, but CBS Mornings viewers might just find out.

Beyond the Roman Empire, the morning’s lineup also features singer-songwriter Shelby Lynne. Lynne, known for her distinctive blend of country, rock, and blues, will be discussing her latest album, Consequences of the Crown. Interestingly, Lynne had reportedly believed her recording days were behind her before embarking on this new project. Her appearance should provide some context into the creative spark that reignited her musical journey.
