ABC News Slates New Hurricane Katrina Special

Hurricane Katrina: 20 Years After the Storm with Robin Roberts, a special from ABC News Studios and Rock’n Robin Productions featuring the Good Morning America co-anchor, is set to air on August 29 on ABC and stream the next day on Disney+ and Hulu.

“It’s hard to believe it’s been 20 years,” said Roberts. “I went to my hometown of Pass Christian, reporting on all that damage and heartache throughout the Gulf Coast region. What we also touch upon [in the special] is that we can be a road map for those who are going through the flooding, the fires, everybody’s got something … and to try and pass that along.”

Roberts revisits the storm’s enduring impact, sharing hard truths, inspiring stories of resilience and powerful updates on a community still rebuilding after one of the most catastrophic natural disasters in American history.

Hurricane Katrina: 20 Years After the Storm with Robin Roberts is produced by ABC News Studios and Rock’n Robin Productions. Rudy Valdez is the director. David Sloan is the senior executive producer, and Katie Conway and Claire Weinraub are executive producers for ABC News Studios. Reni Calister is executive producer, Beth A. Mullen is co-executive producer and Gabriel A. Kerr is senior producer for Rock’n Robin Productions.
