Abby Phillip has seen her profile grow with CNN in recent years. That expansion is set to continue with a streaming series, according to a report from Oliver Darcy.
What We Know: CNN is in the process of developing a series for Abby Phillip. According to Status’ Oliver Darcy, the working title of the show is Confessions and Obsessions. Guests on the show will reportedly discuss what they’re obsessed with and also declare confessions about topics and past actions. The report says that the program, unlike CNN NewsNight, will not be centered around politics.
What Remains Unclear: What the official title of the show will be. Furthermore, it is unclear when the series will debut. We also do not know when new episodes of the show will be released or which guests might appear on the program.
What It Means: Cable news hosts have continually branched out with digital projects. Abby Phillip is the latest example of that. It seems likely that the items she’d like to discuss on this program wouldn’t fit perfectly into her primetime show. It is also one of the first examples of a potential project on the CNN streaming service featuring Phillip.
