Gretchen Carlson is returning to TV on the A&E Network with a series of documentary specials, the first of which will focus on her efforts to tackle workplace sexual harassment, Politico reported.
The former Fox News host became an influential #MeToo trailblazer after she left Fox while accusing the late network chairman Roger Ailes of sexual harassment.
The deal will mark Carlson’s first venture back into TV since the Fox fallout and will see her host at least three specials in the series.
“It has now been confirmed that our voices are amplified and actually get heard when we stand together, and I am proud to partner with Lifetime to make change happen by presenting the heartbreaking, but previously untold, stories of everyday working women,” Carlson said via A&E about the first edition of the series.
When she stepped away from TV, Carlson declined to rule out a return but also left open the door of a possible future political run, Politico said.
Speaking about her new TV venture with Variety, Carlson said it was crucial that she moved the ball forward.
“How do we tell everybody’s stories, not just those of relatively famous people, and how do we involve men in this issue,” she said.
“We need to focus on the role of men and how important it is for men to join us in this effort. We need men to stop being bystanders and turn into allies.”
Carlson’s lawsuit helped lead to Ailes’ resignation. Last September, Carlson reached a settlement with Fox News’ parent company 21st Century Fox for approximately $20 million, The Hill reported.
Since then, she has written regularly for Time Magazine and worked to get a bipartisan bill passed that would end the use of unfair forced arbitration clauses in employment contracts.
