“LONG ISLAND MEDIUM” RETURNS THIS WINTER WITH CELEBRITY READINGS AND THEMED EPISODES

**All-New Season Premieres Sunday, January 3 at 9/8c**

**Holiday special airs Tuesday, December 1 at 9/8c **

(New York, NY) – Theresa Caputo and her family are back with all-new episodes of TLC’s hit-series LONG ISLAND MEDIUM on Sunday, January 3 at 9/8c. The upcoming season kicks off with a special episode featuring celebrity readings with Jim Parsons, Susan Lucci, Jamie Lynn Sigler and other stars from the big and small screen. The new season is also packed with a lot of firsts for Theresa, including her largest-ever fundraiser group reading and readings focused solely on children. Throughout the new episodes, Theresa continues to give her clients the best gift of all – emotional reunions with their dear family and friends.

All-season long, the episodes will focus on a special theme, from tragedy in the line of duty and haunted homes to the holidays and even weddings. During a moving episode, Theresa salutes heroic police officers and firefighters, as she reads people whose lives were turned upside down in the line of duty – some of them by the devastating events of September 11th. In another, Theresa visits and cleanses the homes of people who believe they have spirit activity. Meanwhile, the Caputo family takes a trip to Florida which prompts Theresa to explore the possibility of living there during the winter months.

To kick off the holiday season, TLC will air a one-hour holiday special on Tuesday, December 1 at 9/8c, where Theresa gives the gift of closure and peace to many families over the holiday season. She reunites a family with their dad who passed away from a heart attack during a holiday foot race, and later surprises a woman at the airport with a special reading that channels the woman’s departed sister. She also conducts a group reading at a veteran’s home with some emotional results. Being so busy, Theresa has very little time to prepare her own holiday treats, so she reaches out to her Aunt Gina for help and encounters another spirit in the process.
