SPIKE BACKS "BAR" BUSINESS AND STAR JON TAFFER

NETWORK ORDERS NEW JON TAFFER PILOT, 30 EPISODES FOR 5TH SEASON OF "BAR RESCUE," AND 10 MORE "BACK TO THE BAR" SPECIALS

New York, NY, July 27, 2016 - Spike has greenlit 30 episodes of "Bar Rescue" for the fifth season of the network's popular original series, in addition to ordering 10 more "Back to the Bar" specials and an untitled, late night talk show pilot from "Bar Rescue" star, renowned bar and nightlife expert Jon Taffer. The series and pilot are produced by 3 Ball Entertainment ("Extreme Weight Loss," "My Cat From Hell") and executive produced by Jon Taffer.

The fifth season of "Bar Rescue" will debut on August 7 at 9pm ET/PT, with the additional "Back to the Bar" specials airing throughout the "Bar Rescue" run of original episodes on Sunday nights.

"Bar Rescue" follows Taffer across the country as he utilizes 30 plus years of experience in the restaurant, bar and nightclub business to help give failing establishments one last chance to transform themselves into profitable businesses. The fifth season will take Taffer to bars in Las Vegas, San Francisco, Palm Springs, Seattle, and additional cities across America.

The additional installments of the successful "Back to the Bar" specials will continue to revisit infamous bars from the series' past. In the newest iteration of these "where are they now" specials, Jon Taffer and a studio audience celebrate the most memorable "Bar Rescue" personalities and relive classic "Bar Rescue" moments. "Back to the Bar" also features new, never before seen footage of Taffer's experts checking back in at previously rescued bars, and revisits tense confrontations between Taffer and well-remembered owners.

As part of its first-look agreement with Jon Taffer, Spike has ordered a late night talk show pilot also to be produced by 3 Ball Entertainment.
