Her stated intention is to take her influence beyond our shores and break into the global influencer market.

Returning for Season 3 is Faith's best friend Kim Kholiwe, as she raises her baby boy as a single mother.

Previously, we discovered that Kim's baby daddy is not involved in his son's life, and in this season we see her journey continuing as she becomes more open to building a good relationship for the baby's sake.

Andzelo Tivani, the architect of Faith's career, remains ambitious and upbeat about Faith's empire.

The Killer Within delves into what turns someone into a killer. Is there a specific trigger or is someone always destined to murder?

Whether it was premeditated or spontaneous, a revenge plot or the killer simply snapped, The Killer Within uncovers the true story behind each killer - from the very beginning.

Throughout the series, leading forensic and criminal experts delve into the psyche of the killer.

We speak to those directly involved with each case, to discover the common signs and events that could lead to your nearest and dearest harbouring... The Killer Within.

Genre: True Crime, Documentary Series

License to Kill 2

Hosted by prominent plastic surgeon Dr. Terry Dubrow (Botched), License to Kill examines shocking cases of killer doctors, nurses and medical professionals who used their practice to inflict harm on their defenceless patients.

Told through the eyes of the victims, families, colleagues and law enforcement, each episode reveals how these sinister medical professionals took advantage of their positions to render their patients injured, ill or dead.

The series delves into the perpetrators' malicious motives, while chronicling how authorities were finally able to bring an end to their malpractice.

This season, Dr. Dubrow uses his medical expertise to take viewers into the minds of each distinctive killer, while investigating the reasons behind their heinous crimes.

Whether they were money-hungry, ego-driven, or a criminal who conned their way into the medical field, these killers lost sight of their Hippocratic Oath and used their practice for evil.

The series recounts how authorities stopped these medical professionals' malpractice to seek justice for the victims that were harmed or put in jeopardy.

The 12-episode season chronicles harrowing tales, including a Las Vegas man who posed as a natural doctor performing invasive medical procedures in highly unsanitary conditions.

There's also a doctor who over-prescribed opioids to unsuspecting college-aged men; an incompetent cosmetic surgeon who preyed on a disenfranchised community; a pharmacist who diluted his cancer patient's chemotherapy treatments; and a pain management specialist who aided in the opioid addiction of an entire town.

In the Season 2 premiere, "Killer Surgeon": Dr. Anthony Pignataro is a New York-based plastic surgeon who gained notoriety for inventing a "snap-on" hairpiece.

After falsifying credentials and harming patients during routine cosmetic surgeries, investigators uncovered dark secrets surrounding the criminal doctor.
