TLC Renews Long-Running Hit Series UNTOLD STORIES OF THE ER for 12th Season

GRB Entertainment's hit series UNTOLD STORIES OF THE ER has been renewed for season 12, with 10 brand new one-hour episodes slated to air on TLC and Discovery Life in fourth quarter 2017. Production is currently underway. Untold Stories of the ER chronicles real emergency room cases - featuring some of the most extreme situations ever encountered by ER physicians - as reenacted and recounted by the patients who experienced them and the doctors who treated them. The show opens the door to emergency rooms across the country to expose some of medicine's most harrowing and unbelievable health emergencies. The stories are unusual, emotional and often life changing, and showcase the bizarre situations faced routinely by medical professionals.

Said GRB Entertainment President Gary R. Benz, "After 120 episodes of Untold Stories of the ER, there is still no shortage of shocking medical marvels that serve to educate and entertain viewers, while conveying just how critical quality health care is - no matter how extraordinary the situation."

Documented with full medical accuracy, each episode depicts three different scenarios in which doctors must choose the correct treatment for their patients in a variety of remarkable circumstances. Among the peculiar stories featured in season 12 are a man bitten by a shark who arrives at the hospital with the live shark still clamped to his leg, a man suffering from a snake bite on his wrist with the guilty boa constrictor wrapped around his arm, and a man with a maggot-filled infection on his back.

Untold Stories of the ER is produced by GRB Entertainment for Discovery Life and TLC. Executive producers for GRB Entertainment are Gary R. Benz and Bob Niemack.
