Discovery slates Ebola doc

US network Discovery Fit & Health has linked up with the production division of ABC News on a fast-turnaround factual special about the Ebola virus outbreak in Africa.

Ebola: Inside the Deadly Outbreak (1×60′) will explore the history of the highly infectious disease and the current plans to contain and treat it. It will be hosted by ABC News’ chief medical editor Dr Richard Besser who will travel to Liberia to meet those afflicted and the aid workers trying to save them.

The show is being produced for Discovery Fit & Health by ABC News’ Lincoln Square Productions, with Rudy Bednar, Jeanmarie Condon and Julie Meisner Eagle attached as executive producers.

Discovery Fit & Health, which is being rebranded as Discovery Life Channel in early 2015, will air the show on September 18 as part of a special night of programming about the disease, including Ebola: Are we Next? and Monsters Inside Me.
