The podcast expansion at Netflix continues, as NBC News correspondent Ellison Barber will launch a new show on the platform later this month.
Allegedly will debut on Wednesday, April 29th. The show will be focused on the highest-profile true crime cases. According to Netflix, the show will “pair sharp reporting with a conversational format.”
Barber is a New York-based correspondent for NBC News. She joined the network in 2020 after spending nearly four years as a general assignment reporter for Fox News.
“As an avid viewer of true crime and someone who’s always loved digging into details, I’m eager to bring viewers inside our reporting process as we examine the most compelling evidence with guests whose unique perspectives shed new light on cases capturing the nation’s attention,” Barber said.
Allegedly will be produced by NBC News Studios. It will release new episodes weekly.
The announcement of the new show comes as Netflix has invested heavily in the podcast space. The streaming giant has spent tens of millions to license shows from The Ringer and Barstool Sports, among others. Barber’s video podcast announcement comes after Netflix announced that former NBC News anchor Brian Williams will also launch a weekly show on the platform.
