Plot Synopsis

Hosted by Maria Menounos, UNTOLD WITH MARIA MENOUNOS goes behind the headlines to cover subjects ranging from the rise of heroin in Hollywood to the Electronic Dance Music scene, and from transgender civil rights issues to the highs and lows of reality star fame. Each one-hour episode delves into three different stories, while also featuring ongoing segments, like: "The Pop Culture Minute," which focuses on YouTube and Vine stars; and "The Untold Moment," which offers exclusive interviews with Hollywood personalities. In the series premiere, Maria touched on three stories: how the Selfie epidemic is fueling an increasing number of adults and teens to seek plastic surgery; how William and Kate are taking control of the media and preparing their son -- the future king of England -- for life in the social media spotlight; and why creature features continue to be monster hits, including interviews with B-movie legend Roger Corman and SHARKNADO 2 stars Ian Ziering, Tara Reid, and Kari Wuhrer.

And finally, Menounos sits for an exclusive interview with Nick and Bianca Bowser, a transgender husband and wife, who have with two kids who were carried by Nick.

Then, Menounos looks closely at how Robin Williams's recent suicide put the spotlight on stories of other comedians struggling with depression, and how certain medical studies have found a higher suicide rate among performers. Menounos sits down for a one-on-one with comedian Dane Cook who talks about Robin Williams, and details his own struggle with depression after both his parents died. Additionally, Cook offers insight about why so many comedians struggle. Finally, Menounos tries out a new treatment which trains people's brains to combat depression.
