MSNBC is finalizing its schedule overhaul, with fresh details emerging about a trio of panel shows under the "Weekend" brand and Jen Psaki's new show. Psaki's program will occupy the coveted 9 p.m. slot four nights a week. "The Weeknight," hosted by Symone Sanders-Townsend, Michael Steele, and Alicia Menendez, premieres May 5, 2025, at 7 p.m. ET. It will run for an hour Tuesday through Friday, expanding to two hours on Mondays.
"All In with Chris Hayes" continues Tuesday through Friday from 8 to 9 p.m., while "Inside with Jen Psaki" concludes its weeknight run to allow Psaki to move to the 9 p.m. timeslot. "The Weeknight" adopts a modified version of "The Weekend's" visual style, opting for blues, violets, and magenta instead of a wider color spectrum. The distinctive "n" logo element is retained, but the show's graphics seem to incorporate lines and circles.
Psaki's new show, "The Briefing with Jen Psaki," debuts May 6, 2025, at 9 p.m. on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, following "The Rachel Maddow Show's" shift to a once-weekly airing. The show's design largely mirrors "Inside," retaining the beige outlines of the Washington, D.C., street grid and sans-serif typeface.
The morning edition of "The Weekend" will maintain its established visual identity, featuring Jonathan Capeheart, Eugene Daniels, and Jackie Alemany. The primetime version, "The Weekend: Primetime," however, shifts to a dark gray background with a color palette focused on reds, greens, and blues. This darker palette is fitting for the evening timeslot. The primetime show includes four hosts: Ayman Mohyeldin, Catherine Rampell, Antonia Hylton, and Elise Jordan. Both "The Weekend" versions debut on May 3, 2025.
Studio locations for the new shows remain undetermined. "The Weekend" currently uses Studio N5 in NBC's Washington, D.C., bureau. "The Weeknight" could air from several spaces at 30 Rockefeller Center, including Studio 3A or Studio 3AW. "The Briefing," due to its visual similarity to "Inside," might continue to use Studio N1. Future relocation is possible due to Comcast's planned spin-off of its cable properties, including MSNBC.
Naturally, these designs are subject to change before or after the shows launch.
