Showtime to Premiere New Docu-Series TIME OF DEATH this Friday

The groundbreaking six-episode Showtime documentary series will premiere this Friday, November 1st at 9:00 pm ET/PT. It intimately follows the final days of a truly remarkable group of terminally ill people and how their imminent mortality affects their family and friends, sometimes in surprising ways, and the support their caregivers/healthcare workers provide while guiding them through the final stages of life. It's an unforgettable, unflinchingly candid series and each unique, emotionally resonant story serves as a tangible, hopeful reminder of the finite nature of time and mortality.

David Nevins, President of Entertainment, Showtime Networks, shares his personal thoughts on the unprecedented docu-series: "TIME OF DEATH is, I believe, a very powerful and unusual piece of television. It is not the easiest show to watch, but I've always wanted to explore the subject in detail. Death is the most universal topic there is, and yet its examination is largely Taboo in our culture. The series comes from Jane Lipsitz, Dan Cutforth, Alexandra Lipsitz, Cynthia Childs, and Casey Kriley at Magical Elves, and was instantly riveting to me. It is surprising, moving, unexpectedly uplifting and deserves to be seen. I thank you in advance for your time and thoughtful attention to this incredibly compelling, thought-provoking series."
