It has only been three months since Harvey Weinstein was publicly accused of sexual harassment in a series of reported stories that formed the groundwork for the #MeToo movement, but the resounding effect of the allegations on the culture of sexual harassment has only just begun to be felt. The CEO of PBS recently announced that the network has planned a five-part miniseries about #MeToo, entitled #Metoo, Now What?, which will explore the effect of the movement and examine multiple facets of sexual harassment.

The miniseries promises to focus on the effects of race, class, and gender on the culture of harassment, and will be hosted by Zainab Salbi, who founded Women for Women International, an organization supporting women who have survived the aftermath of war. Salbi is a humanitarian who has partnered her organization with Kate Spade to open factories to provide job opportunities for women in Afghanistan. She has also authored three books on women's experiences with oppression across the world.

Zainab Salbi, host of #Metoo, Now What?

There is no word on what guests may appear on #MeToo, Now What?, but the show's announcement mentioned that celebrities, journalists, and activists will comment on each of the topics covered in the five-episode run. Leaders from the world of fashion, entertainment, and media will also be on the show. (It's worth nothing that Zainab Salbi has a longstanding personal and professional relationship with Oprah Winfrey, who featured Salbi on her TV show ten times, so it's entirely possible that she'll show up and expound on her pro-#MeToo Golden Globes speech by contributing to the show).

#Metoo, Now What? will premiere on PBS on February 2nd at 8:30 pm.
