Enter the world of the hired killer as Steve Schirippa, co-star of THE SOPRANOS, recounts the shocking true stories of cold-blooded contract killings in NOTHING PERSONAL. Premiering Wednesday, July 13 at 9 p.m. ET/10 p.m. PT on Investigation Discovery, the six-part, original Canadian series takes a thrilling and ominous journey to the dark side. Whether it’s underworld infidelities, love betrayals or broken friendships, it’s nothing personal for the contract killers – just good business.
Each episode of NOTHING PERSONAL tells the tale of a real-life professional “hit,” involving three key characters: the Client, the Victim and the Hit Man. Schirripa gives an in-depth picture of real-life gangland and professional criminals. Viewers get to know the people who paid the contract killers, see how the hit men complete their assignments and find out why murder contracts were assigned against the victims. From teenaged hit men and power-hungry sons to jealous husbands and vengeful wives, nothing is too personal for a contract killing.
Highlights from the first episodes of NOTHING PERSONAL include:

Bob is a dedicated family man who tries to make the relationship work, but the provocative Mary Ellen has other priorities.
