The 20-episode season is to begin Sept. 6.

"Each episode of this groundbreaking series follows two different people whose inability to let go of their belongings is so out-of-control that they are on the verge of personal disaster," the cable network said in a news release this week.

"In Season 3 of 'Hoarders,' the stakes couldn't be higher as the people profiled are faced with life-changing consequences including eviction, divorce, demolition of their homes, jail time, loss of their children and even death."
