ABC News Sets Daily Streaming Show Following Diddy Trial (Exclusive) (2025)

ABC News plans to go deep into the Diddy trial, ordering a daily 30 minute series that will recap and analyze the goings-on in court.

The show, Burden of Proof: The Case AgainstDiddy, will stream on ABC News Live and be hosted by GMA3 anchor and senior national correspondent Eva Pilgrim, joined by chief investigative correspondent Aaron Katersky and legal contributor and attorney Brian Buckmire. The first episode is slated for May 9, with jury selection beginning Monday.

Each episode will digest what happened in court during the racketeering and sex trafficking trial, with other guests expected to be brought in over the course of the show.

“I am really looking forward to bringing this show to theABCNews Live audience. This case has captured national attention and flipped the entertainment industry on its head,” said Pilgrim. “Our plan is to go beyond the headlines and provide viewers with real-time updates, context and answers to the questions on everyone’s mind as they follow along throughout the trial. Our goal is for viewers to not only understand what’s happening in the courtroom but also the impact this case will have outside after the final verdict.”

ABC News has already set a twice weekly podcast from 20/20 called Bad Rap: The Case AgainstDiddy, which will be hosted by Buckmire, but the streaming show takes that a step further. The show also expands the purview of the streaming service to true crime, beyond the existing 20/20 programming.

“With ‘Burden of Proof’ airing daily onABCNews Live, our audience will stay informed, engaged and part of the cultural conversation as it unfolds in real time,” said Seni Tienabeso, VP ofABCNews Live and Specialized Units. “As the leading24/7streaming news channel, our audience relies on our reporting for access to cultural flashpoints that shape our world. With this trial, we’re not only breaking news; we’realsoproviding the legal context and analysis our audience trusts every step of the way.”
