Megyn Kelly is expanding her digital media presence with a new daily true crime series titled "MK Confidential," set to premiere on her YouTube channel and podcast platforms on Monday at 9 p.m. ET.
The series will delve into well-known criminal cases, with initial episodes slated to examine the murder of JonBenet Ramsey and the D.C. sniper killings. "MK Confidential" is scheduled to air weekdays for eight consecutive weeks. "Like millions of others, I am a huge devotee of the true crime genre," Kelly stated. "This series was born out of a desire to revisit the most compelling, unforgettable cases in one place, digesting one mystery at a time in narrative form. I hope you find the results as addictive as we have!"
The new program adds to Kelly's existing "MK True Crime" channel, which was established last year. Kelly's flagship program, "The Megyn Kelly Show," launched as an audio-only podcast in late 2020 and has since become one of the most popular independent shows in the country. Kelly, 55, initially partnered with SiriusXM in 2021, following previous tenures at Fox News and NBC before venturing into independent content creation.
Episodes of "MK Confidential" will be available each weekday on YouTube, Apple, and Spotify. Kelly's background includes nine years as a corporate litigator in Chicago, followed by her role as a legal correspondent for Fox News, where she reported on Supreme Court decisions.
The public's interest in true crime content remains strong, consistently ranking among the most popular podcast genres. According to a 2024 report by Edison Research, 84 percent of Americans aged 13 and older consume true crime content.
