Each 10-minute episode of ‘The Demi Lovato Show’ will feature a
special guest and will cover topics including activism, feminism,
gender identity, sex and body positivity, mental health, and even

“Some conversations can be difficult, but I’ve never been one to
shy away from speaking candidly about things,” said Demi Lovato.
“We wanted to create a space that normalizes living your own truth
– where people can speak, engage and more importantly, learn,
together. There’s something therapeutic about having raw
discussions that people can relate to and with ‘The Demi Lovato
Show’ no topics are off limits and opinions are welcome. I’m so
excited for people to see how these conversations unfold on The
Roku Channel.”
“Demi Lovato is a voice of a generation and we’re beyond excited
to elevate their voice with new audiences,” said Brian Tannenbaum,
Roku’s Head of Original Alternative Programming. “With such a
singular talent at the forefront of ‘The Demi Lovato Show,’ there’s
never been a better time to have honest, frank discussions in a
fun, approachable and unfiltered format. We’re thrilled to be able
to share these conversations with the millions of engaged streamers
on The Roku Channel.”
Produced by GoodStory Entertainment and SB Projects, ‘The Demi
Lovato Show’ is executive produced by Demi Lovato, Scooter Braun,
JD Roth, Adam Greener, Alison Kaye, Scott Manson, Todd Yasui, and
