CBS News published an extended web interview with Emmy winner Julia Garner, in which she talks with correspondent Anthony Mason about her new Netflix series, The Altruists, according to the network's summary of the video. The interview was published November 8, 2026, as a web exclusive, CBS News reported.
CBS News identifies Garner by her work on Ozark and Inventing Anna, and says the conversation also covers her childhood. The network's summary does not describe what Garner said about her early years.
CBS News reported that Garner describes her brain as "odd." The summary does not explain what she meant by the term or whether she expanded on it during the interview.
The summary also says the interview includes a discussion of dissecting a performance. It does not identify the performance or the work it refers to, and it does not say how that discussion unfolded.
According to CBS News, Garner's remarks touch on several subjects in a single conversation: her early life, her view of her own mind, and her approach to performance. The summary presents these topics together and does not rank them or describe how much time the interview gives to each.
The CBS News summary does not include the full transcript of the conversation, and it does not describe the plot of The Altruists or give a premiere date for the series. Those details cannot be confirmed from the summary alone, and the full video is the primary source for the complete conversation.
