A&E has given a series order to Obsessed, a nonfiction program exploring the world of people with anxiety disorders, including various phobias and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.
Obsessed joins fellow nonfiction series Intervention on the A&E lineup. Given the gritty real-life nature of both shows, the network is expecting avid viewers of Intervention to check out the new series.
“Like our Emmy-nominated series ‘Intervention,’ ‘Obsessed’ balances intense human drama with redemption,” said Robert Sharenow, Senior Vice President of Nonfiction and Alternative Programming, A&E Network and BIO, in a statement. “The series will take a raw, honest and emotional look at the world of anxiety disorders while offering those who suffer a path to recovery.”
A&E has ordered 11 one-hour episodes of Obsessed, with each one exploring two cases. The show will not only chronicle the daily life of those affected, but their treatment as well.
