San Antonio native Elizabeth Chambers is returning to the small screen, but this time, she is not making sweet treats. The television personality is giving a voice to trauma survivors as the host of the new Investigation Discovery true-crime series "Toxic."

The six-episode season explores "raw and real stories of those affected by destructive relationship dynamics, showcasing the lasting trauma and tragedy that can result from unhealthy relationships," according to a network press release.

Chambers is no stranger to the subject. From 2010 to 2023, she was married to Armie Hammer. The Hollywood star's career was famously derailed in 2021 in the wake of sexual and emotional abuse allegations, notoriously including a predilection for cannibalism fantasies. It does not seem like a coincidence that Toxic's debut, two years after the show's announcement, coincides with Hammer's attempted comeback.

"When it comes to toxic relationships, no one is immune," Chambers says in the show's trailer. "Navigating through my own heartbreak took me back to my roots as an investigative journalist."

An investigative show may seem like a career departure for Chambers. Although she had a few bit roles in movies and on television dramas, she is mainly known for her cooking segments on "Today" and appearances on the Cooking Channel and Food Network. She is also the proprietor of three locations of Bird Bakery, including one in San Antonio.

Still, the University of Texas journalism graduate began her career in reporting as a correspondent for Al Gore's Current TV network before shifting to entertainment news for "Access Hollywood" and "Entertainment Tonight."

Toxic airs on Mondays at 9 pm, Central, on Investigation Discovery. Viewers can also catch streaming episodes on Max, soon to be rebranded as HBO Max.
