Five has unveiled a fresh slate of acquired and original shows for the new schedule of Fiver, the new name for digital channel Five Life that will come into being on 28 April.
As part of its new line-up, Fiver will premiere the fourth series of Five's human interest documentary strand Hidden Lives.
The 5 x 60-minute programmes will examine people who are addicted to marriage in Wedding Addicts; women who suffer from severe sweating in Sweaty Betty; Female Hoarders; Naked Parents; and Night Bingers, about people who eat and cook while asleep.
The documentaries will be produced by Raw TV, Gecko, Cicada, Yipp Films and October Films respectively.
Fiver will also screen Hotel Inspector Unseen, a six-part companion series to the main show on Five, made by Twofour. It promises to delve deeper into failing hotels with exclusive video diary footage that will go beyond the shabby rooms and shoddy service to find out how they can be rescued.
New US acquisitions for the channel include 5 x 60-minute documentary series Intervention, which follows the stories of people whose lives are in crisis due to a destructive addiction and are forced to confront their demons by friends and family. It was originally produced by GRB Entertainment for the A&E Network.
The Shot tracks 10 amateur photographers over 8 x 45-minute instalments as they attempt to become the next great fashion photographer. The series is a Two Cities production.
Action series Ocean Force follows the work of US lifeguards and coast police. Set on Hermosa Beach and Panama City Beach, the 12 x 30-minute series explores the lives of the lifeguards as they handle everything from drunken brawls to dangerous open water rescues. Original Productions made the series, which was sold to Fiver by RDF Rights.
The new titles will air alongside the second series of Courtney Cox drama Dirt, VH1 series Celebrity Rehab and reruns of Sex and the City.

Anyone else find this rebrand quite confusing?
With "Five Life" it was quite obvious what type of programme they were offering, but with Fiver it seems a real mix of programmes - and you can't really work out who they're targetting. More men, a younger audience, the same female-skewed audience?
Or perhaps that is the point, though I'm not quite sure they're in a position to try and be all things to all people - Five themselves don't really achieve that.
