Elizabeth Chambers is no stranger to the camera. She’s enjoyed a varied career, which has included being a correspondent for entertainment news outlets like Entertainment Tonight, E! News Now, and Access Hollywood. She’s also appeared on Today, The Cooking Channel, and Food Network.
But besides being a TV personality, she also unleashed her entrepreneurial spirit when she opened her first BIRD Bakery location in San Antonio, Texas, in 2012. The bakery sells cookies, pies, cakes, and more inspired by her grandma’s recipes. It opened a second location in Dallas in 2016 and recently opened a third (and its first out-of-state) location in Denver, Colorado.
With that kind of background, she may seem like an unlikely candidate to host and executive produce a new Investigation Discovery series. Let’s check out why her personal life makes her uniquely qualified to embark on her latest project.
Elizabeth Chambers Signs Deal with ID
Today the network announced it signed a development deal with Chambers to host and executive produce a series exploring the complexities of toxic and traumatic relationships. Through interviews and firsthand accounts of survivors, the project will investigate and shed light on long-held secrets, generational trauma, and deep-rooted psychological issues.
The series doesn’t have a name yet, but it will aim to empower victims with control of their own narratives. Something Chambers has intimate first-hand experience with thanks to her marriage to Armie Hammer. (Who she separated from in 2020.)
“We’re big admirers of Elizabeth and know that this new series will resonate with our passionate true crime audience,” said Jason Sarlanis, President of Turner Networks, ID & HLN, Linear and Streaming. “Elizabeth brings a unique empathy to help elevate victim’s voices which perfectly aligns with ID’s mission to use its platform to share powerful stories of hope, resilience and survival.”
ID’s Commitment to Raising Awareness
For 15 years, ID has been the leader in true crime content, presenting gripping specials, thought-provoking documentaries, and groundbreaking series, all in service of supporting victims’ stories and bringing justice to cases that may have been overlooked.
This past October, ID also launched its inaugural “No Excuse for Abuse” campaign to shed light on, and bring awareness to, domestic violence. Through its partnerships with One Love Foundation and NO MORE, ID presented on-air resources, PSAs, and tools to ensure viewers are equipped to identify the various forms of domestic violence.

Courtney Mroch is a globe-trotting restless spirit who’s both possessed by wanderlust and the spirit of adventure, and obsessed with true crime, horror, the paranormal, and weird days. Perhaps it has something to do with her genes? She is related to occult royalty, after all. Marie Laveau, the famous Voodoo practitioner of New Orleans, is one of her ancestors. (Yes, really! As explained here.) That could also explain her infatuation with skeletons.
