TLC'S POPULAR SERIES "LONG ISLAND MEDIUM" RETURNS ON SUNDAY, MAY 12 AT 9PM ET/PT

ALL-NEW LONG ISLAND MEDIUM: ON THE ROAD special airs at 8pm ET/PT

On Sunday, May 12, everyone's favorite LONG ISLAND MEDIUM returns for a fourth season. Starting at 8pm ET/PT, TLC premieres an all-new LONG ISLAND MEDIUM: ON THE ROAD special. Theresa gets hundreds of fan letters a day from men and women across the country begging for a chance to meet with her for a session. This time around, Theresa heads south to Florida where she surprises three unsuspecting fans with readings: a mother who hears from her daughter that died tragically, a son who is hoping to connect with his father, and a woman who desperately needs to know if her husband is still with her. Never expecting Theresa to show up in the sunshine state, these people will receive messages that will change their lives forever.

Directly following with back-to-back premiere episodes at 9pm and 9:30pm ET/PT, Season four of LONG ISLAND MEDIUM opens up as Theresa's daughter Victoria returns from college for a visit with some new changes that shock the family, and Theresa decides to shed a few pounds when her clothes cease to fit her.

The new season is packed with more emotional readings including a shocking private session with a woman who lost her daughter, where Theresa encounters an unforgettable negative spirit. There is also a sweet reading with a little boy who loses his younger sister, a powerful private reading with a woman who completely loses her faith after her husband's drowning, and a group reading where Theresa validates a brother's presence with a detail that no one else would know.

Season four also highlights the usual chaos in the Caputo household, as Theresa redoes her bathroom, Larry Jr. hosts poker night at the house while Theresa joins, Theresa's dog Louie goes missing for three days, the whole family hits the slopes for a ski lesson, and Theresa goes to Long Beach and volunteers to help with Hurricane Sandy relief in a touching episode. Theresa also finds out the answer to the question everyone wants to know - why was she given this gift?

LONG ISLAND MEDIUM is produced by Magilla Entertainment for TLC.
