Weathered: After the LA Firestorm 2026

Directed by Trip Jennings

Nearly a year after catastrophic wildfires reshaped Los Angeles, Weathered host Maiya May returns to ask a question facing communities worldwide: what does recovery truly look like in an era of escalating climate extremes? What she finds goes far beyond one city - survivors still grappling with loss, systemic failures, and unanswered questions that echo across fire-prone regions on every continent. As climate-driven wildfires intensify from California to Australia, Southern Europe, and beyond, Maiya’s investigation uncovers an emerging blueprint for wildfire-resilient communities - highlighting innovation, adaptation, and collective action that transcend borders. Both urgent and hopeful, the film offers a timely, internationally relevant roadmap for how societies can prepare for a hotter, more volatile future.
