"Surviving Mormonism with Heather Gay" premieres tonight: how to watch, what to expect
Heather Gay (movies and tv series) isn't tiptoeing around tough questions. In her new Bravo series, "Surviving Mormonism with Heather Gay," the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star sits down with people who say they've lived through the hardest parts of LDS church culture - and she brings her own story to the table, too.
It's raw. It's personal. And it's airing tonight.
When and where
The series premieres Tuesday, November 11, at 9:45 p.m. ET on Bravo. Odd time, sure, but that's the slot.
All three parts will also hit Peacock on November 12, so if you're a streamer, you can watch the whole thing in one go.
What the show digs into
This is a three-part limited series. Each hour-long episode pairs Heather with abuse survivors, ex-Mormons, and former LDS leaders for frank conversations. Bravo's description says the series looks at controversial, outdated practices and amplifies the voices of people who want change.
There's a preview clip if you want a feel for the tone before you commit. Watch the sneak peek on Bravo.

Why this will get people talking
Documentaries about faith are sensitive by nature. This one's coming from someone who grew up inside the church and then left, which changes the conversation. You can feel that in the preview - the pauses, the way people choose their words like they still carry some of the weight.
Here's what this could mean: more people telling their stories, more questions about tradition versus accountability, and probably heated debates online. That's the reality with any series that touches belief and identity in the same breath.
Context, if you want it
If you're looking for the church's official information and teachings for balance, start here: The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints newsroom.
And if you just want to watch and decide how you feel afterward - tonight's Bravo premiere gets the conversation going, and tomorrow's Peacock release lets you see the full picture.
