NEW YORK, NY – September 26, 2016 – After winning the 2016 Emmy® Award for Outstanding Unstructured Reality Series, A&E Network’s critically–acclaimed docuseries “Born This Way” has been picked up for a third season. Ten one-hour episodes have been ordered. The announcement was made today by Elaine Frontain Bryant, Executive Vice President and Head of Programming for A&E.
“’Born This Way’ is a shining example of what the entertainment business needs more of – powerful, thought-provoking storytelling with a greater purpose,” said Frontain Bryant. “It was incredibly rewarding to see the show recognized with the Emmy Award for giving a platform to the extraordinary abilities and wisdom of the cast and their families.”
Currently in its second season, “Born This Way” provides an intimate look at a diverse group of young men and women with Down syndrome as they pursue their passions and lifelong dreams, explore friendships, romantic relationships and work, all while defying society’s expectations. The series also gives a voice to the parents, allowing them to talk about the joy their son or daughter brings to their family, and the challenges they face in helping them live as independently as possible.
In addition to the Emmy win, earlier this year the show was chosen as one of six honorees for the 2016 Television Academy Honors, an award that recognizes television programming that inspires, informs and motivates.
The season two finale of “Born This Way” airs Tuesday, September 27th at 10PM ET/PT on A&E.

Hi, i absolutely love this show!, its so sweet and inspiring..and really funny at times!, im not the only one in the family who love it!, pls pls, BRING IT BACK!, hope to see a wedding!, Any way great show..has taught me alot about down syndrome!, ❤,
I would like to know why A & E keeps taking the good shows off and leaves ignorant shows on like Bates Motel and Donnie Loves Jenny but take good shows off like Born This Way and Duck Dynasty. My husband and I are going to start boycotting A& E. Are you that ignorant? Only thing keeping me watching A& E was Night watch in New Orleans after we really got attached to the ones in New Orleans you take it to Tampa? So sick of A& E.
Absolutely AGREED!, really how many times do we need to see DONNY KISS JENNY?
