Prior to Anthony Bourdain's death in June, enough footage was shot to create a final season of his hit CNN show Parts Unknown, the network announced Wednesday.

The episodes will premiere in the fall. The acclaimed chef, author, and television host finished one full episode before he died by suicide, traveling to Kenya with United Shades of America host W. Kamau Bell. This will be the last episode to have Bourdain's narration. One of the show's final episodes will give viewers a behind-the-scenes look at the making of Parts Unknown, and the last hour will focus on the effect Bourdain had on the world, according to Amy Entelis, CNN's executive vice president of talent and content.
