(BPRW) OWN ANNOUNCES MAXXED OUT: A BOLD NEW FINANCIAL INTERVENTION SERIES PREMIERING JANUARY 10, 2026

(Black PR Wire) Los Angeles, CA – OWN dives into the emotional and financial chaos impacting families and friends across America with its bold new series, MAXXED OUT, premiering Saturday, January 10, 2026, at 9:00 PM ET/PT.

This unflinching eight-episode series reveals how money (and mismanaged money) can strain even the strongest relationships. Each episode uncovers the “What were you thinking?” moments behind financial disasters and the tough love it takes to turn things around.

Guiding the way is financial expert Leah Collins, delivering straight talk, clear strategies, and yes, the receipts. Through high-stakes financial interventions, Leah helps people confront crushing debt and rebuild their relationships—with money, and with each other.

But MAXXED OUT is more than a money makeover show. It offers perspective, insight, and actionable guidance for lasting financial transformation, while healing the personal bonds damaged by financial stress. Expect powerful, deeply personal stories that resonate across all types of relationships.

Below are a few highlights:

• A married couple of ten years with two young daughters who struggle with crushing debt, conflicting financial views, and a cycle of poor money management.
• Daughters confronting their mother about spiraling debt ranging from $35,000 to $45,000, compounded by an inconsistent income and declining self-confidence, forcing six family members to share a small two-bedroom apartment.
• Two sisters running a family business, where one is $90,000 in debt, a breast cancer survivor forced to pay out-of-pocket for medical care, stopping visits to her oncologist due to no 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. “We want viewers to feel seen and understood, while also walking away with practical tools to rewrite their financial story and reclaim their peace of mind.”

MAXXED OUT premieres Saturday, January 10, 2026, and is produced by Lionsgate Alternative Television, for OWN.
