The Fosters Renewed for Season 2!

ABC Family announced the network has green-lit a second season of its hit original drama series, “The Fosters,” which is exec-produced by Jennifer Lopez. The order came as production continues on the first season of the series, which premieres new episodes in January, 2014. You may recall that back in July, the show’s first season was extended.

“’The Fosters’ has demonstrated its ability to build an audience, and the creative team’s compelling storytelling assures us that there will be more growth in upcoming seasons,” said Kate Juergens, Chief Creative Officer and Executive Vice President, Programming, ABC Family. “The show’s dynamic cast and groundbreaking storylines resonate with our core viewers and leave them wanting more.”

“The Fosters” ranked as the #1 new cable TV series of the summer in Viewers 12-34 and Females 12-34, gaining momentum each week heading into the season finale, which set series highs in Total Viewers and across target 18-34, 18-49 and 12-34 demos. Of all current ABC Family original series, “The Fosters” is the network’s #2 series in target demos, behind only “Pretty Little Liars.”

Back in August, the show won a Teen Choice Award for Choice TV Breakout Show and just last week, Jennifer was honored with the Ally for Equality Award by the Human Rights Campaign, in part because of her involvement with the show.

Renewing before the second half of the season airs is a great vote of confidence for the show! Congrats to Jennifer, the cast, and crew!!
