Dr. Pimple Popper has been a hit on TLC since its debut in 2018. TLC’s reality series Dr. Pimple Popper gives viewers an insight into the many facets of dermatology. Starring board-certified dermatologist Dr. Sandra Lee, the show follows her daily routine of diagnosing and treating skin conditions. Though season 7 just finished in April, fans are already looking forward to the next season. TLC hasn’t made any formal announcements yet, but here’s all the news and updates for Dr. Pimple Popper season 8 so far.

Dr. Lee initially found success sharing her dermatological world on social media, gaining herself a following of “popaholics” online. This helped her gain the attention of TLC, who offered Dr. Lee her very own show. Thanks to the series, fans can watch her handle everything from simple (but fascinating) pimple extractions to complicated surgical procedures.

Typically, TLC airs Dr. Pimple Popper twice yearly, in the winter and summer. The winter releases are usually in December or January, but this year, Dr. Pimple Popper season 7 came out on February 16. After a winter release, another set of episodes will come out in July. The only year this didn’t happen was 2020. However, TLC seems to be back to the same schedule despite having no official release date, as Dr. Pimple Popper season 8 may premiere this summer.

Season 8 will likely feature the same kind of content seen in previous seasons. Dr. Lee often meets patients with skin conditions that have negatively altered their lives. This means there are sure to be some heartwarming moments. After receiving their treatments, many have shocking transformations courtesy of Dr. Lee. However, popaholics shouldn’t fret. In between the touching moments, there are sure to be more lumps and bumps in need of a squeeze.

While some people enjoy Dr. Pimple Popper for the actual pimple popping, others watch simply because of Dr. Lee’s magnetism. Smart, friendly, genuine, and comforting, she can put her patients at ease. It’s easy to see that Dr. Lee truly wants to help everyone that enters her practice. She also has a great sense of humor, often making jokes while treating her patients. With a personality that keeps even the most squeamish viewers coming back for more, Dr. Lee is sure to continue in the titular role of Dr. Pimple Popper.

More news on Dr. Pimple Popper season 8 will likely be revealed sometime soon. Until then, popaholics can always get a fix on Dr. Lee’s Instagram. Whether fans are watching for the pops or for Dr. Lee's personality, viewers of Dr. Pimple Popper will have to wait and see what TLC’s plans are for season 8.
