Heather Gay is set to star in Bravo‘s new limited three-part series Surviving Mormonism, premiering on Tuesday, November 11 at 9:15 p.m. ET/PT. All three episodes will drop on Peacock on November 12.
The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star has been open about distancing herself from the Mormon Church on the Bravo reality series and in her own book, Bad Mormon. The limited series is set to uncover the dark history of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Surviving Mormonism fractures the church’s seemingly perfect veneer to expose the secrets that have been kept behind closed doors.
In each hour-long episode, Gay has impactful conversations with abuse survivors, ex-Mormons, and former LDS church leaders. As Gay reflects on her own departure from the church, Surviving Mormonism delves into outdated and controversial practices and empowers victims to share their experiences to bring awareness and enact change.
Surviving Mormonism with Heather Gay is produced by the Intellectual Property Corporation (IPC), a part of Sony Pictures Television. IPC’s Eli Holzman and Aaron Saidman are executive producers, along with IPC’s Erin Gamble, who, in addition to executive producing, is the showrunner. Heather Gay is also an executive producer.
