In Depth is a program on C-SPAN 2 as part of their Book TV programming that aired monthly from 2000-2023, featuring a different writer each month. Each interview covers the breadth of that author's writing career, and incorporates viewer calls and e-mails. The show was typically broadcast live the first Sunday of each month. The first program was on February 6, 2000, and was a discussion with historian John Lukacs.{{cite web|title=C-SPAN through the years...|url=http://www.c-span.org/about/milestones/|website=C-span.org|access-date=18 April 2015}} For the first several years of the show, episodes were not produced during the summer months. From the first episode through March 2019, the standard interview length was three hours. Beginning in April 2019, with Nomi Prins, the standard interview was reduced to two hours.{{Cite web|url=https://www.c-span.org/video/?458498-1/depth-nomi-prins|title=In Depth with Nomi Prins | C-SPAN.org|website=C-span.org|access-date=25 December 2021}}

There have been a few exceptions to the practice of featuring one single author, as with the programs featuring the Strand Bookstore, Frank J. Williams Frank Williams and Edna Greene Medford's discussion of Bibliography of Abraham Lincoln (writings on Lincoln), and John K. Wilson and Jonathan Karp's discussions of the writings of Barack Obama and John McCain.

Sometimes, the profile will include taped footage of the author's own home or office, so as to give further perspective on how they approach the task of writing. On occasion (as with the programs with Shelby Foote{{Cite web|url=https://www.c-span.org/video/?165823-1/depth-shelby-foote|title=In Depth with Shelby Foote |website=C-span.org|access-date=25 December 2021}} and Harold Bloom {{Cite web|url=https://www.c-span.org/video/?176255-1/depth-harold-bloom|title=In Depth with Harold Bloom|website=C-span.org|access-date=25 December 2021}}) entire three-hour interviews have been conducted live at the home or office of the featured author.

In 2018, the series featured 12 authors best known for their works of fiction, as opposed to their standard practice of interviewing authors best known for nonfiction works.{{cite news|title=BookTV Adds Fiction to Its Lineup|url=https://www.publishersweekly.com/pw/newsbrief/index.html?record=1640|access-date=March 3, 2018|work=Publishers Weekly|date=December 19, 2017}}

*Author Ross Douthat was announced as the scheduled guest for this date several times during the previous week. Ronald Reagan biographer Craig Shirley appeared instead. No explanation was given for the change. The C-SPAN web page announcing Douthat's appearance ([https://www.c-span.org/video/?510227-1/depth-ross-douthat May 2, 2021]) was still retrievable on May 3, 2021, the day following the broadcast with Shirley. Mr. Douthat appeared in a later episode on November 7, 2021.

#Former independent counsel, U.S. solicitor general, and federal judge Ken Starr was supposed to appear on the program on August 1, 2021, but the episode was preempted when the U.S. Senate held a rare Sunday session to debate a spending bill. He was never rescheduled to appear.
