This is a list of episodes for Hoarders, an American reality television program which aired on A&E, from 2009 to 2013, on Lifetime in 2015, and again on A&E beginning in 2016.
Each episode follows one or two participants, each of whom is a compulsive hoarder. Throughout the episode, an organizational expert (who may also be psychiatrist, psychologist or a professional organizer specializing in some aspect involving the treatment of obsessive/compulsive disorders, anxiety disorders, and/or hoarding) works with the subject to address the situation and provide guidance in order to change hoarding behaviors.
After the sixth season concluded on February 4, 2013, the program went on a hiatus before it was announced, on September 25, 2013, that the show had been cancelled. In June 2015, Lifetime organized a revival of the show, after a number of successful "Where Are They Now?" episodes. Lifetime recently aired the seventh season, under the subtitle Family Secrets; the show returned to A&E on January 3, 2016 for season eight.
As of January 3, 2016, a total of 95 episodes aired. Most episodes are available individually on DVD from A&E's website.
