CNN announces streaming series focusing on women’s health

CNN is launching a new streaming series focused on women’s health, hosted by anchor and Chief Investigative Correspondent Pamela Brown.

“Body Language by CNN” will examine health issues and experiences that are often under-discussed or surrounded by misinformation and stigma. The first four episodes will premiere Thursday, Oct. 8, 2026, exclusively for CNN All Access subscribers, with four additional episodes scheduled for November 2026.

The premiere episode, “The Zone of Chaos: Perimenopause,” examines the physical and mental effects of perimenopause, which can begin years before menopause. Women featured in the episode discuss their experiences with the transition, its symptoms and approaches to managing them.

Brown said her interest in covering women’s health grew from her own experience seeking information after developing postpartum OCD following the birth of her second child.

“When I experienced postpartum OCD after the birth of my second child a few years ago, I was searching for answers, and for a community I could relate to and learn from,” Brown said. “I struggled to find the right resources, and I felt dismissed.”

Brown said the experience led her to become more invested in reporting on health issues affecting women that receive less attention.

“‘Body Language’ is a true passion project of mine and I’m so excited for women of all ages to tune in and know that they are not alone when it comes to navigating their health,” Brown said.

Other episodes are expected to cover egg freezing, GLP-1 medications, Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome, formerly known as PCOS, Alzheimer’s disease, breast reduction surgery, thyroid diseases and the fourth trimester.

“Pamela brings great empathy and her trademark candor to these timely health topics that need to be discussed,” said Ben Weltman, CNN vice president of VOD, streaming and podcasts, in a statement. He said the series is part of CNN’s effort to expand its video-on-demand programming.
