TLC International Gets New Original

SILVER SPRING: Discovery Networks International has commissioned the new series My Naked Secret, from the producers of Embarrassing Bodies, for a worldwide rollout on TLC International.

The 12-episode half-hour series features individuals hiding something about their bodies. With the help of Anjula Mutanda, a recognized television psychotherapist in the U.K. (Big Brother, BBC Breakfast), they struggle to come to terms with their body issues and move forward. It will premiere in Poland on TLC on September 15 and Discovery Fit & Health in the U.S. on October 7 before it rolls out around the world on TLC and other networks. The series is produced for Discovery Networks International by Maverick TV.

“As a global entertainment and lifestyle brand for women, TLC aims to combine the unique stories of extraordinary, real-life characters with raw and compelling storytelling,” said Luis Silberwasser, the executive VP and CCO of Discovery Networks International. “We’ve struck that balance with My Naked Secret, profiling the relatable journeys and struggles of people facing the emotional complexities that come with physical abnormalities.”
