Variety and PBS SoCal have announced the lineup for the sixth installment of the Emmy award-winning series “Variety Studio: Actors on Actors.” The 5th season aired in January and featured this year’s Oscars contenders.

The show will feature one-on-one conversations between this year’s Emmy contenders. Clips from the season, presented by Shutterstock, will be available to watch on Variety.com starting at the end of May.

This season’s featured conversations include a reunion between Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor (who starred in 2001’s Moulin Rouge! together) and Evan Rachel Wood (Westworld) with Millie Bobby Brown (Stranger Things), inevitably talking about growing up as a child actor in Hollywood.
