TLC REVISITS THE HIDDEN LIVES OF HOARDERS IN HOARDING: BURIED ALIVE SEASON 2

Returns Sundays at 9 PM (ET/PT) beginning August 8

(Silver Spring, MD) - TLC's hit series HOARDING: BURIED ALIVE returns with all new episodes Sundays at 9 PM (ET/PT) beginning August 8. Revealing even bigger wreckage and more family crisis, the compelling second season dives deeper into the real-life struggles and intense treatment of extreme hoarders-- people who are unable to part with their belongings to the point of personal disaster.

Each hour-long episode follows two obsessive hoarders striving to fight the compulsion to collect and return their lives to normalcy. Overwhelmed by piles and piles of stuff that has accumulated to the point of complete chaos, these people are on the verge of losing everything--their jobs, their homes, their families. Aware that addiction is destroying their lives, the hoarders agree it's time for professional intervention. With the help of expert therapists and organizers, and the support of their families, they begin the long and difficult process to overcome their compulsion. For most, letting go of prized possessions they've held onto for years is not an easy undertaking. While some will conquer this overpowering condition, others will continue to be consumed by this painful disease.
