DONNIE WAHLBERG RETURNS WITH AN ALL-NEW SEASON OF "VERY SCARY PEOPLE" ON INVESTIGATION DISCOVERY    

(New York, N.Y.) - Donnie Wahlberg is set to return to Investigation Discovery with a brand-new season of the gripping true crime docuseries, VERY SCARY PEOPLE, starting production on eight new episodes this week. Hosted and executive produced by Wahlberg, the series offers an expansive look into society's most evil minds, revealing unprecedented insight into their twisted crimes through rare in-depth interviews and remarkable archival footage.

"I cannot wait to dig in and start filming this next season of Very Scary People," said Wahlberg. "These stories will leave true crime fans stunned as we unravel the depraved crimes and minds of frightening killers we haven't considered before."

Stories to be featured this season include that of Scott Kimball, a serial killer who acting in the guise of an FBI informant was able to roam freely and undetected for six years; Clarence Heatley, a diabolical kingpin who ran a multi-million-dollar drug operation marked by dozens of vicious murders; and David Matusiewicz, the mastermind behind a warped family unit in which he conspired to kidnap his own kids and unleashed a deadly, pernicious campaign against his ex-wife.

"Donnie Wahlberg has firmly established himself as a dynamic voice in the true crime genre, captivating audiences with his riveting storytelling," said Jason Sarlanis, President of ID. "Donnie's relentless pursuit of the most gripping stories has been a natural fit for ID and we are excited to deepen our collaboration on Very Scary People, bringing even more compelling episodes to our viewers."

This past season of VERY SCARY PEOPLE delivered ratings that were up 83 percent from the previous season and saw double-digit growth over its prior 6-week timeslot average. The series drew 6 million viewers across Investigation Discovery.
