Emmy Award-Winning Executive Producer | Creator | Director | Writer
Emmy-winning Executive Producer Sam Mettler is the creator of what the New York Times called "a significant evolutionary moment in reality television”... the gripping real-life series Intervention. Lauded by Oprah Winfrey, Larry King, The Today Show, Good Morning America and Howard Stern, Intervention in its 25 seasons is a ratings and critical bonanza. After a brief hiatus, new episodes of Intervention are now airing again on A&E to critical and popular acclaim.
Over 14 seasons, Mettler served as Executive Producer, Director and Writer, working from the field to the edit bay in what many believe to be one of the most emotionally, mentally and physically difficult non-fiction programs ever produced. In the non-fiction genre, Mettler has also served as writer and producer for the series Expeditions to the Edge and producer and format creator for the series Drugged; both for National Geographic.
Mettler has won five Prism Awards for outstanding non-fiction program dedicated to the accurate portrayal of
addiction on television and a commendation from the New England Association of Drug Court Professionals. In the
last six years Mettler has won a Telly Award and a Banff Rockie Award, a Burbank International Film Festival
Awareness Award and was nominated for a two Producers Guild Awards for an outstanding reality program. He has
been nominated twice but won the 2009 Emmy Award for outstanding reality program.,
giving Intervention the highest television award in its genre.​
Mettler continues to expand his projects under the shingle of his recently formed production company, Mad Jack Entertainment. When not writing, shooting or producing, he is busy developing both non-fiction and scripted fare for both broadcast networks and cable providers. Most recently, Mettler and Mad Jack Entertainment created and produced MSNBC’s divorce series, Chained To My Ex, and Investigation Discovery’s crime series Breaking Point.
