Tune in this Sunday, May 25, 2025, for another riveting edition of 60 Minutes, airing from 7:00 to 9:00 PM ET/PT on CBS. This postseason edition brings back several impactful segments, updated to reflect the latest developments. Here’s a sneak peek at what to expect:

Larkin’s War

In the first segment, 60 Minutes correspondent Scott Pelley reports on the extraordinary story of Frank Larkin, a former Navy SEAL whose devotion to his country has spanned decades. Having served in the Secret Service, at the Pentagon, and as sergeant-at-arms of the U.S. Senate, Larkin’s life took a devastating turn after the suicide of his son, Ryan, also a Navy SEAL. While Ryan’s death was initially attributed to depression, Frank Larkin refused to accept this explanation. Pathologists later discovered scarring in Ryan’s brain, possibly caused by repeated low-level blast exposure. This discovery led Larkin to campaign for a monumental change in how military special operations personnel are trained and protected. 60 Minutes takes viewers through Larkin’s journey as he works to raise awareness about the long-term effects of such injuries and protect the future of military personnel.
