CNBC series The Profit returns for a third season Tuesday, May 12 at 10p with entrepreneur/ investor Marcus Lemonis helping save struggling businesses. The season also includes hour-long follow-up special, The Profit: After the Deal. Why the where-are-they-now? “Marcus is able to make enormous changes during production, but his job doesn’t end after our cameras shut down,” Jim Ackerman, SVP, Primetime Alternative, CNBC, tells Cynopsis. “He returns to those businesses, regularly, where he continues to make changes and hopefully, grow revenue. But as we learned, there are no magic bullets when it comes to saving a business and Marcus has faced challenges and setbacks with almost every business he invested in. Given that, we knew there was way more story to capture.”
