With the impending trial of Sean “Diddy” Combs, Disney’s ABC News has announced a brand new daily show called “Burden of Proof: The Case Against Diddy”, which is a 30-minute deep dive into the trial that will spotlight and analyse the day’s events from the courtroom and beyond.

Hosted by “GMA3” co-anchor and senior national correspondent Eva Pilgrim, the 30-minute show will be an in-depth look into the high-profile federal trial of the music mogul. The series will deliver real-time updates and analysis of the defence and prosecution as Combs faces federal charges, including racketeering and sex trafficking, to which he has pleaded not guilty.

The show will premiere on Friday, 9th May 2025, at 5:30 p.m. EDT on ABC News Live, the No. 1 streaming news channel.

The first episode will examine the science behind jury selection and explain the charges against Diddy. The regular, daily cadence for the show will commence on the day of opening statements, currently slated for May 12th 2025 and airing daily on ABC News Live, which also streams live on Disney+ in the United States.   The show will air at 5:30 p.m., 6:30 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. EDT through the end of the trial.    It hasn’t been announced if the show will be available to stream the next day on Hulu and Hulu On Disney+.

Joining Pilgrim are chief investigative correspondent Aaron Katersky and legal contributor and attorney Brian Buckmire, who will be inside the courtroom during the trial. Their firsthand insights and expert commentary will bring viewers behind the scenes of one of the most consequential celebrity trials in recent memory. Pilgrim will feature additional guests and experts throughout the series to provide audiences with the full scope and impact of the trial.

For more context and analysis on the trial, ABC Audio and “20/20” will be producing twice weekly episodes of the podcast “Bad Rap: The Case Against Diddy” hosted by Brian Buckmire, available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music, or wherever you get your podcasts.
