E! Entertainment has announced that the breakout hit reality show "Botched" will return for a third season in the first quarter of 2016.

The news came ahead of the plastic surgery series' Season Two mid-season finale. Jeff Olde, E! executive vice president for programming and development, says his group is "thrilled" to bring "Botched" back and deliver more of what the fans "crave" for, Starcasm reports.

"'Botched' not only delivers on the pursuit of perfection phenomenon but also inspires viewers with heartwarming stories as Dr. Dubrow and Dr. Nassif transform patients' lives. Plastic surgery has and continues to be a pop culture obsession," Olde said.

The series follows esteemed plastic surgeons Dr. Terry Dubrow and Dr. Paul Nassif as they help patients whose extreme transformation under the knife went badly. Some bizarre cases aired in the first two seasons of the show include a woman suffering from complications on her face brought about by injections made in the black market.

Viewers also saw the doctors fix patients with "uniboobs" and tummy tuck problems and help them continue with their lives after the emotional distress they suffered with surgeries gone wrong.

The mid-season finale on June 12 will feature TV Farrah Abraham, who has come to see Dubrow and Nassif about her lip problem, and a man whose doctor left a permanent thumbprint on his nose.

"Botched" Season Two is currently averaging 863,000 viewers among adults aged 18 to 49 years and 1.5 million total viewers in Live+3. The show recently hit its season highs with the June 14 episode, garnering 1.1 million viewers aged 18 to 49 years and 1.8 million total viewers, according to Deadline.

The website also reported that the Evolution Media series was among the main drivers behind E!'s across-the-board second ratings growth in primetime, along with "Keeping Up with the Kardashians."

"Botched" is slated to return this fall with eight episodes to conclude its second season.
