*OWN is set to premiere its bold new financial intervention series, “MAXXED OUT,” in January. The eight-episode show explores how monetary challenges can strain even the closest relationships, offering an unflinching look at the decisions that lead to chaos, per the news release.
Guiding participants through high-stakes interventions is financial expert Leah Collins, who delivers clear strategies and actionable advice while confronting families with the reality of their financial mismanagement. Beyond money makeovers, “MAXXED OUT” emphasizes healing personal bonds that have been damaged by debt and fiscal stress.
Episodes showcase relatable, powerful stories, including a married couple with two young daughters facing severe debt and a cycle of poor money management. In another case, daughters confront their mother over $35,000 to $45,000 in spiraling debt, compounded by inconsistent income and a cramped living situation shared by six family members. The series also follows two sisters managing a family business, one of whom owes $90,000 while navigating the costs of breast cancer treatment without health insurance.
“MAXXED OUT isn’t just a show; it’s a mirror reflecting the financial pressures so many of us face and the ripple effect they have on our closest relationships,” said Drew Tappon, Head of OWN Unscripted Programming and Development.
