The show, “Monica the Medium,” will premiere next month, Aug. 25 at 8 p.m. on ABC Family. Here’s a description of the program, from ABC Family:

It’s not easy being a 21-year-old female – adjusting to college, being away from home, abusing or embracing your newfound freedom, dealing with immature boys and catty roommates. But Monica, the Penn State college psychic medium, isn’t your average 21-year-old, so for her, young adulthood comes with a whole different set of trials and tribulations on top of all the ones you would expect. How do you manage studying, dating, and pleasing a big, strict family when you also talk to the dead? “Monica the Medium” is an uplifting docuseries that follows Monica and her family as she learns to balance her otherworldly abilities while trying to live the life of a regular college student, daughter, sister and friend.
