Journalist Soledad O’Brien will lead “an important debate about the industry, then and now.”
The episode “will build on the revelations explored in the first four episodes,” including a conversation about “where the industry can go from here.”
“With Breaking the Silence, we delve deeper into the crucial conversations the docu-series started and explore the lingering questions left in its wake to provide more insight into the brave voices that have spoken before and those that are coming forward again.” said ID President Jason Sarlanis.

Bell, 37, first revealed on Quiet on Set that he was the minor who accused acting coach Brian Peck of sexual abuse.
While appearing on The Sarah Fraser Show podcast last week, Bell said she entered rehab after giving her first Quiet on Set interview.
“I felt very comfortable in that interview, but I was going through a lot in my personal life and after that interview I ended up going into rehab,” he said.
“Once I got out, I thought, ‘Maybe this is a good time to reach out to them again and say, hey, I’m not 100% yet, let’s talk some more.’
“But I’m getting closer to feeling comfortable finally sharing my story,” Bell added.
Peck, now 63, was arrested in 2003 and served 16 months in prison and was ordered to register as a sex offender.
