PBS’s long running investigative series Frontline turns its focus to climate change vulnerability in “Hurricane Helene’s Deadly Warning.” The documentary is scheduled to air Tuesday, May 20, 2025, at 10:00 PM ET.
The program will scrutinize how the impact of Hurricane Helene brought into sharp relief the nation’s preparedness, or lack thereof, for increasingly severe climate-related storms. It examines the underlying factors contributing to the United States’ growing susceptibility to such extreme weather events. Frontline, which has produced public-affairs documentaries since 1983, aims for this report to serve as a catalyst for awareness and action regarding future climate challenges.
The episode intends to foster a broader conversation on the subject.
