ABC News and Rock’n Robin Productions Reveal New Hurricane Katrina Special

Good Morning America co-anchor Robin Roberts has revealed Hurricane Katrina: 20 Years After the Storm with Robin Roberts, a special from ABC News Studios and Rock’n Robin Productions airing August 29 on ABC and streaming the next day on Disney+ and Hulu.

“It’s hard to believe it’s been 20 years. I went to my hometown of Pass Christian, reporting on all that damage and heartache throughout the Gulf Coast region,” said Roberts. “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 returns home to the Gulf Coast for a deeply personal look at the region 20 years after Hurricane Katrina. 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.
