New York, NY - August 23, 2017 - A&E Network's critically-acclaimed docuseries "Born This Way" has been picked up for a fourth season.

The announcement was made today by Elaine Frontain Bryant, EVP and Head of Programming, A&E Network.

"Over the past three seasons, 'Born This Way' has been a prime example of quality storytelling that motivates us to celebrate and embrace diversity," said Frontain Bryant.

Produced by Bunim/Murray Productions, "Born This Way" provides an intimate look at a diverse group of young men and women with Down syndrome as they pursue their passions and lifelong dreams, explore friendships, romantic relationships and work, all while defying society's expectations.
