Dermatologist Dr. Sandra Lee is returning to TV with her new show, Dr. Pimple Popper: Breaking Out, and I think the new series will be even better than her original reality show. Dr. Lee rose to fame with her YouTube channel, which she started in 2010. The channel featured videos of Dr. Lee in her dermatology practice as she handled various skin concerns, often cysts, pimples, and rhinophyma. Today, the channel has over 8 million subscribers.
In 2018, Dr. Lee graduated from YouTube to television. Her show, Dr. Pimple Popper, premiered on TLC on July 11, 2018, and ran for nine seasons, plus a spin-off called Dr. Pimple Popper: Before The Pop. Now, Dr. Lee is moving from TLC to Lifetime with her new show, which will dive more into her personal life. I think the inside look at her life will make the new show even better than the last.
Viewers Will Get A Better Inside Look At Dr. Lee's Life
This Version Will Be More Personal
The new name isn't the only thing different about Lifetime's version of Dr. Pimple Popper: Breaking Out. Unlike the original version, the new show will include more from Dr. Lee's life outside the dermatology office. This iteration of the show will feature Dr. Lee's self-shot footage.

Reality TV is more popular than ever. With so many to choose from, here are some of the best reality TV shows to stream or watch right now.
Now that her sons are adults and have moved out of the house, Dr. Lee and her husband are empty nesters. She's entered a new phase of life, and I'm excited to see that phase documented on TV. Although fans have gotten to know Dr. Lee over the years on YouTube and TV, I think sharing more of her life will allow audiences to get to know her even better, creating a stronger bond and making for an even better TV show.
Dr. Lee Is Still Giving Us Some Major Pops & Heart-Warming Client Stories
Dr. Lee Changes Lives
Of course, not too much is changing from the original Dr. Pimple Popper series. Dr. Lee will still be changing lives by removing self-esteem-ruining cysts, and audiences will still see some amazing pops. The infamous pimple popper won't be the only recurring cast member on the new show; she is mentoring early-career dermatologists and medical students.
Dr. Lee has a lot to offer her patients and other doctors, and I'm glad she's ing down her wisdom.
Judging By The Trailer, Dr. Pimple Popper: Breaking Out Has A Lot Of Heart
Audiences Are In For A Treat
Dr. Lee always treats her patients (and others she interacts with) with respect, and that will not change in the new season of Dr. Pimple Popper: Breaking Out on Lifetime. One patient in the trailer says, "I feel like weight has been taken off me," which shows Dr. Lee's ability to immediately change a patient's life with her dermatology practice and kindness.
In another scene, Dr. Lee tells a patient with vitiligo that she's beautiful inside and out, and I believe Dr. Lee means what she says. I'm excited Dr. Pimple Popper: Breaking Out has found a home on Lifetime. The series is will be filled with tears and laughter, and I can't wait to see what Dr. Lee does next.
Dr. Pimple Popper: Breaking Out airs Mondays at 9 p.m. EDT on Lifetime.
