Following her exit from the board of WeightWatchers, Oprah Winfrey has set an hour-long ABC primetime special about weight loss drugs. The special, titled “An Oprah Special: Shame, Blame and the Weight Loss Revolution,” will air on ABC on Monday, Mar. 18 and will be available to stream the next day on Hulu.

While the easiest way for cable-cutters to stream the special is on Hulu starting on Tuesday, you can also tune into the special live online through a variety of Live TV streamers such as DirecTV, Sling TV, Fubo TV and Hulu + Live TV.

“It is a very personal topic for me and for the hundreds of millions of people impacted around the globe who have for years struggled with weight and obesity,” Oprah said in a statement upon the special’s announcement. “This special will bring together medical experts, leaders in the space and people in the day-to-day struggle to talk about health equity and obesity with the intention to ultimately release the shame, judgment and stigma surrounding weight.” 

Oprah recorded the special in front of a live studio audience and gathers medical experts to discuss weight loss drugs such as Ozempic, Mounjaro and Wegovy. The medical experts featured in the primetime special are Cleveland Clinic’s Dr. W. Scott Butsch, ABC News chief medical correspondent Dr. Jennifer Ashton, ABC News medical correspondent Dr. Darien Sutton and Cedars-Sinai Medical Center’s Dr. Amanda Velazquez. Oprah also will interview patients from around the country who used weight loss medications. Questions addressed in the special include: Who are the medications really intended for? Who is eligible to receive weight loss drugs? What are the short-term and long-term side effects?

News of the primetime special came shortly after Oprah announced she was stepping down from the board of WeightWatchers after almost 10 years because she had used weight loss drugs. She had served on the company’s board since 2015, when she acquired a 10% stake in WeightWatchers.

“An Oprah Special: Shame, Blame and the Weight Loss Revolution” will air on ABC on March 18 and will stream on Hulu on March 19.
