Disney has announced that in honour of its 50th anniversary and the upcoming 250th anniversary of the United States, ABC News’ “Good Morning America” has launched a new yearlong series, “50 States in 50 Weeks: America the Beautiful.” Each week, a “GMA” anchor or correspondent will visit a new state, following the order in which they joined the United States, to spotlight a local changemaker and showcase the state’s unique culture, history, traditions and landmarks. Viewers are invited to nominate inspiring individuals in their communities who are making a meaningful impact. “50 States in 50 Weeks: America the Beautiful” will run through July 2026, celebrating the milestone in a heartful way with audiences nationwide.

Simone Swink, senior executive producer of “Good Morning America said in a statement:

“This series is a chance for us to explore the country and share stories that reflect the heart of each state.  We’re looking forward to meeting people, highlighting what makes each state special, and proudly keeping the ‘A’ in ‘GMA.’”

The journey kicks off July 3 in Delaware, the first state to be admitted to the United States, where chief meteorologist Ginger Zee will feature the heroic lifeguards of Rehoboth Beach who are keeping the community safe all summer long.

Ginger Zee, chief meteorologist, also added:

“I can’t think of a better way to kick off this journey than in Delaware, our very first state.  Meeting the Rehoboth Beach lifeguards and seeing their commitment to community and safety perfectly captures the spirit of what this series is all about, especially ahead of Fourth of July weekend.”

Additional coverage from “50 States in 50 Weeks: America the Beautiful” will air on GMA3, ABC News Live, and ABC News digital and social platforms.

Emmy Award-winning “Good Morning America,” featuring the anchor team of Robin Roberts, George Stephanopoulos, Michael Strahan and chief meteorologist Ginger Zee, airs live Monday-Friday at 7:00-9:00 a.m. EDT on ABC and is available the next day on Hulu and Disney+. Simone Swink is the senior executive producer.
