Investigation Discovery is pulling back the curtain once again. The highly anticipated second season of Hollywood Demons is set to premiere in South Africa on Friday, 22 May at 21:00 on ID (DStv 171).

The gripping documentary series returns with five explosive two-hour episodes. Each one peels back the polished surface of fame to reveal the scandals, struggles and emotional fallout often hidden behind celebrity success.

Featuring raw first-hand testimony from former stars, insiders and cultural commentators, this season promises an unflinching look at the darker side of Hollywood.

This season dives into some of entertainment’s most controversial chapters, including The Jerry Springer Show, Saved by the Bell, 16 and Pregnant, and the hidden dangers behind celebrity medicine culture.
