Jason Priestley & Ms. Pat on ABC News Live Prime

ABC News Live Prime with Linsey Davis just dropped its weekly lineup, and two names are standing out this time around : actor Jason Priestley and comedian-author Ms. Pat. If you follow what's streaming on major platforms, this is exactly the kind of programming worth keeping on your radar.

Jason Priestley and Ms. Pat set to appear on ABC News Live Prime

Jason Priestley, best known for his iconic role in Beverly Hills, 90210, returns to the screen on Friday, October 16, promoting his new project Private Eyes West Coast. He shares the spotlight with author Michael Lewis, whose book Blockers : Rebels in the Deep State is generating real buzz, and singer Ashe, who steps in to talk about her album Girl of Your Dreams. Three guests in one evening is a solid lineup by any standard.

Earlier in the week, on Tuesday, October 13, Ms. Pat sits down with Linsey Davis to discuss Ms. American Dream, her latest book. Comedian, actress and author, Ms. Pat has built a loyal following through her raw and unfiltered storytelling. Her appearance on this primetime slot gives her a platform that reaches well beyond her usual audience. That same evening, Kerry Kennedy, lawyer and human rights activist, joins the show to talk about Ethel Kennedy : The Extraordinary Life and Bold Legacy.

The show streams weeknights starting at 7 :00 p.m. EDT on ABC News Live, which holds the title of America's number one streaming news channel. For those who miss the live broadcast, new episodes become available the following day on Hulu and Disney+ for a limited window, making it easy to catch up on demand.

A full week of guests and investigative reporting

The week of October 12 to 16 covers a wide range of topics, both through its guest interviews and its Prime Focus investigative segments. Here's the full guest breakdown by day :

• Monday, Oct. 12 - Ms. Rachel (All Access segment)
• Tuesday, Oct. 13 - Kerry Kennedy, Ms. Pat
• Wednesday, Oct. 14 - D.L. Hughley (Charlie's Boy), Kyle MacLachlan (Fictional Selves : A Memoir)
• Thursday, Oct. 15 - Jocelyn Bioh (Schoolgirls; Or, The African Mean Girls Play), TikTalk with Taryn Delanie Smith
• Friday, Oct. 16 - Jason Priestley (Private Eyes West Coast), Michael Lewis (Blockers : Rebels in the Deep State), Ashe (Girl of Your Dreams)

Actor and author Kyle MacLachlan appears on Wednesday the 14th, the same evening as D.L. Hughley, whose book Charlie's Boy explores deeply personal territory. On Thursday, playwright Jocelyn Bioh brings her critically acclaimed work Schoolgirls; Or, The African Mean Girls Play into the conversation, alongside the popular TikTalk segment hosted by Taryn Delanie Smith.

The Prime Focus segments are equally notable. Wednesday's episode, reported by Rachel Scott, examines the fallout of severe DOGE budget cuts across the CDC, which left several agencies operating in name only. One of those was designed to help states manage Sickle Cell treatments. Georgia has since built its own infrastructure to fill that gap. Thursday's segment, with Matt Rivers, looks at the fear spreading through Ohio's Haitian community following the loss of TPS status and the broader economic consequences for the region.

Where and how to watch ABC News Live Prime

Tracking down where to watch this show is genuinely straightforward, and that's worth noting. ABC News Live is available across a wide range of platforms, making it one of the most accessible streaming news programs currently running.

TikTok also carries the stream, which tells you something about how broadly Disney is pushing distribution for this program. Seven different platform categories in total, covering both smart TV environments and mobile-first audiences. Whether you're a Disney+ subscriber or a Roku user, the show finds you.

If you tend to follow interviews with authors and personalities across streaming platforms, Tuesday and Friday this week deserve a slot in your schedule. Ms. Pat's candid voice and Priestley's return to promote a West Coast project make both evenings genuinely worth tuning in for, beyond the usual primetime news format.
