Well, the TV personality's Rock'n Robin Productions teamed up with ABC News Studios to produce a brand-new special, and the premise is all about looking at the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina that devastated the Gulf Coast back in 2005.

Titled Hurricane Katrina: 20 Years After the Storm, folks will get to see Robin's original reporting air on Friday, August 29, 2025 at 8 p.m. ET. Robin shared a first look at the project with GMA viewers on August 19, with the clip posted on Instagram later that day.

"This morn on Good Morning America ... we shared a first look at our new special "Hurricane Katrina: 20 Years After The Storm,'" she wrote in the caption. "We’re taking a look back at both the destruction and the celebration of resilience in the two decades since the storm devastated the Gulf Coast. You can see the full special on Friday, August 29th at 8, 7 central on @ABC."

When fans saw that Robin worked on a program that took a look at the after effects of Hurricane Katrina's impact, they immediately praised her for taking the time to work on a personal project like this.

"I am so thankful for Robin! The Mississippi Gulf Coast is always overlooked when it comes to Katrina! I’m glad she let our story be known … Mississippi strong 🫶🏾," one person wrote in the comments. "Looking forward to the remarkable look back in time 🙏," another penned. "Yes it was hard for us on the Gulf Coast thanks Robin for this coverage 💯❤️👏🏿," a different follower added.

As for what Hurricane Katrina: 20 Years After the Storm will entail, a press release stated the project sees Robin "returning home to the Gulf Coast for a deeply personal look at the region 20 years after Hurricane Katrina." Along with visiting New Orleans and her hometown of Pass Christian, Mississippi, Robin will also "revisit the storm's impact, sharing hard truths, inspiring stories of resilience, and powerful updates on a community still rebuilding after one of the most catastrophic natural disasters in American history."

"It's hard to believe it's been 20 years," Robin stated in an official statement. "I went to my hometown of Pass Christian, reporting on all that damage and heartache throughout the Gulf Coast region. What we also touch upon [in the special] is that we can be a road map for those who are going through the flooding, the fires, everybody's got something ... and to try and pass that along."
