What is ‘Time of Death’ about on Showtime?

Ready to face death?

There will be six one-hour episodes of “Time of Death” on Showtime.

Time of Death Synopsis

SHOWTIME will take an unflinching, in-depth look at some remarkable individuals facing their own imminent mortality in the six-episode documentary series TIME OF DEATH, from executive producers Dan Cutforth and Jane Lipsitz of the award-winning Magical Elves production team (Top Chef, Fashion Star, The Real L Word®).

What will happen?

Cameras will follow brave, terminally ill individuals as they live out their final days, supported by family, friends, healthcare teams and hospice workers, who gently help guide the process.

TIME OF DEATH will weave together these complex, unforgettable stories into an affecting portrait: a single mother of three with Stage IV breast cancer; a grandmother with inoperable pancreatic cancer who is also a psychotherapist who specializes in the field of death and dying; a veteran with a rare cancer facing the end with his parents beside him; and a young woman with Stage IV melanoma, among other profiles. Each unique, emotionally resonant tale will serve as a tangible reminder of the finite nature of time and mortality.
