Discovery Life seeks out Mistress

The soon-to-launch Discovery Life channel has ordered a series about the secret world of mistresses to debut in January 2015.

The Mistress (working title) will follow author Sarah J Symonds as she dishes out tough love to women ready to escape the trap of extramarital affairs.

Each half-hour episode of the series, produced by Great Pacific Media and distributed by Beyond Distribution, documents former mistress Symonds’ intervention in affairs during which she draws from her own experiences.

Jane Latman, general manager at Discovery Life, said: “Until now, the scandalous topic of mistresses has been relegated to soapy TV dramas and tabloid reality TV but at its heart, this series is truly about redemption, rising above temptation, and helping ‘the other woman’ become her own woman.”

Discovery Life will replace Discovery Fit & Health channel in the US on January 15 next year and has already started acquiring and commissioning programming for its launch slate, including Those Girls (working title), an observational documentary focusing on a group of transgender friends in Kansas City. The Mistress premieres on January 21.
