Later in the year, Ralph Lauren TV premiered a digital video series with Newman, showcasing Equitrekking spots in Hawaii, Alaska, Ireland and the American West.

That same year, she created a series of broadcast interstitials, taking viewers "equitrekking" in locations where famous American Westerns and movies filmed and detailing related history, shown on the Starz Encore network.

She started hosting and producing a second, new digital series, Travels with Darley, launched on the AOL On Network, dedicated to food, culture, and adventures across the globe with locals as the guides.
