FAMILY DRAMA REACHES NEW HEIGHTS ON TLC'S SHOCKING RETURN OF "GYPSY SISTERS"

--The series returns with a special two-hour premiere on Thursday, December 5 at 9 PM ET/PT-

In West Virginia's Gypsy community, the Stanley family's emotions run as wild as their wedding gowns. Putting everything on the line to protect their reputations and relationships, the outrageous ladies are back and bigger than ever on an all new season of TLC's GYPSY SISTERS, premiering on Thursday, December 5 at 9 PM ET/PT.

GYPSY SISTERS delves into the lives of six relatives (Nettie, Kayla, Mellie, Sheena, Annie and JoAnn) as they outspokenly set their own rules in the suburban town of Martinsburg. The drama continues with eight new episodes as the girls' tempers are hot and they are out for vengeance. In the premiere, a web of lies and Mellie's meddling causes Kayla and Nettie to reach a boiling point that erupts into one of the most outrageous and violent brawls in reality television history.

Black sheep Mellie is also pregnant and, after exchanging vows and blows during her wedding ceremony, has alienated herself from everyone in her inner circle. On top of that, her marriage lasted six days and she is back from serving a second weekend jail sentence.

In an environment where fistfights and family go hand and hand, will the ladies mend their broken relationships and show that they can love as much as they can hate? Or has the damage been done and the emotional and physical scars from previous arguments proven to be too deep?

GYPSY SISTERS is produced for TLC by Firecracker Films.
