Young British Psychic Medium Lisa Williams Returns This Summer With Eight
New Episodes
LOS ANGELES, Jan. 24 -- Lifetime Television's popular
reality series "Lisa Williams: Life Among the Dead" has been renewed for a
second season, it was announced today by Susanne Daniels, President,
Entertainment, Lifetime Entertainment Services. The show will return this
summer.
"Lisa Williams: Life Among the Dead" explores Williams' claim of her
abilities to see and speak with the dead and in some cases possibly
transform the lives of the people she meets who are seeking to connect with
their dearly departed. Throughout the series, Williams shares stories of
people wanting to be reunited with someone from their past, while offering
personal observations and insights.
"The outpouring of letters and emails we have received from fans of
Lisa, and the show, has been overwhelming," said Daniels. Adding, "We are
thrilled that her vibrant and fun-loving personality has connected with our
viewers."
Lisa Williams' success comes as no surprise to producer Merv Griffin,
whose ability to recognize star quality is legendary. "I just knew the
camera would love Lisa's face and that people would be amazed and
entertained by her abilities," said Griffin. Adding, "Our office, too, has
received a huge number of queries asking when she would be back on the air.
We couldn't be happier that the show has performed so well for Lifetime and
we look forward to an even more remarkable second season."
Merv Griffin, Raymond J. Brune, Andrew Yani and Yann Debonne serve as
executive producers of the series, produced by Merv Griffin Entertainment
in association with Kimo Jagger Productions for Lifetime Television.
In each episode of "Lisa Williams: Life Among the Dead," cameras follow
a typical day in the life of the young clairvoyant. When Williams removes
her hat, revealing her signature multi-colored spiky hair, it's her way of
showing the spirit world that she is available for contact. Lisa gives
readings in her office to scheduled clients and oftentimes to people she
randomly meets while about town in Los Angeles. In these meetings, Lisa
relays messages that she believes are from the dead to their relatives and
friends. The series also observes Lisa at home, with her husband, Kevin,
and her six-year-old son, Charlie, who already shows an interest in natural
healing and talking with spirits.
Online, viewers can log onto Lifetimetv.com and see exclusive video

Lisa personally through exclusive interviews and family photos. During the
first season of "Lisa Williams: Life Among the Dead," Lifetimetv.com hosted

usual.
