In each episode of "Lisa Williams: Life Among the Dead," cameras follow a typical day in the life of the clairvoyant, which includes among other things, readings with clients and occasionally people she randomly meets about town.

This season readings include: Bethie and Sandi, sisters whose mother was murdered by her boyfriend; Ann, an adopted woman who visits Lisa to connect with her birthmother; and Evelyn, a mother looking for answers about the death of her son. Also new this season are celebrity readings, including Dayna Devon, the host of the entertainment magazine show "Extra," who is seeking to learn more about the circumstances surrounding the death of a close friend.

Lifetimetv.com will also provide exclusive webisodes behind-the-scenes at the show. Site visitors will be able to view full episodes from season one and season two and participate in live chats and e-mail Lisa questions directly. During the first season of "Lisa Williams: Life Among the Dead," Lifetimetv.com hosted four live chats, which tripled the site's traffic.

The late Merv Griffin along with Raymond J. Brune, Andrew Yani and Yann Debonne serve as executive producers of the series, produced by Merv Griffin Entertainment in association with Yani-Brune Entertainment for Lifetime Television.
