ELIZABETH CHAMBERS EXPLORES THE DARK AND DANGEROUS SIDE OF LOVE WITH ID'S NEW SERIES "TOXIC"

New Series premieres Monday, May 5 at 10/9c on ID

(New York, NY) - Today, Investigation Discovery unveiled the trailer premiere date for TOXIC, a powerfully illuminating new series hosted by Elizabeth Chambers. This six-part series follows Chambers as she draws from her experience and background as an investigative journalist to delve into the dark and twisted side of relationships. Through conversations with survivors from across the country, Chambers brings viewers into the raw and real stories of those affected by destructive relationship dynamics, showcasing the lasting trauma and tragedy that can result from unhealthy relationships. TOXIC premieres Monday, May 5 at 10/9c on ID will be available to stream on Max.

"At ID, we are deeply committed to raising awareness and fostering dialogue around unhealthy relationship dynamics and intimate partner violence. With TOXIC, we aim to empower the voices of survivors and continue impactful conversations, ensuring that our No Excuse for Abuse initiative remains a year-round focus at ID, not just in October. We're incredibly grateful for Elizabeth's partnership on this series: her passion, empathy and care have provided a safe space for survivors to speak out and share their stories," said Jason Sarlanis, President of ID.

Over the course of the season, TOXIC will feature Chambers as she explores different cases from across the country involving toxic relationships that are mired in violence, manipulation, and deceit. With each case, Chambers meets with survivors, as well as family members and loved ones of victims, to amplify their stories and work to find some semblance of closure or justice as they work through their own healing journeys. In the season premiere, Sleeping with a Stranger, airing Monday, May 5 at 10/9c on ID, Chambers speaks with Kelly Sutliff, her friends, and her family to unpack how Kelly's whirlwind romance with her ex-husband went from a fairytale to a nightmare - that still haunts her.
