THE MORTIFIED SESSIONS
Artists. Entertainers. Innovators.
Peek Into the Pages of Their Past

UPDATE: Don't have TV? Download season one or season two now on iTunes.

Angst. Awkwardness. Insight. The makers of Mortified have teamed with Sundance Channel to create The Mortified Sessions, an offbeat interview series that invites our favorite pop culture personalities to unearth their most embarrassing childhood artifacts (old diaries, letters, art, lyrics) and discuss what those reveal about who they've become. Join Mortified founder Dave Nadelberg for an unusual and intimate conversation that examines: are the secrets of success buried in the pages of our awkward past?

SERIES FAQ
Q: Is the TV show like the stage show?
A: The Mortified Sessions is not intended as an adaptation of our stage show, Mortified Live. It's an interview series. As with our books or other projects, The Mortified Sessions is a companion piece that exists as its own thing.

posterQ: Will there ever be a screen adaptation of the live stage show?
A: YES! The stage show is the focus of Mortified Nation, a traveling documentary that captures our live readings in various cities. The film marks the first time we'll be able to truly share the stage show, in all its awkward glory, with a wider audience.

Q: How can I find out more about The Mortified Sessions TV show?
A: Visit the TV series' official Sundance Channel page or its official Facebook page, both run by Sundance. Or spread the word with Mortified's own Facebook and Twitter (@Mortified). We're a growing show on a growing network and need your cheerleading.
