ABC renews "Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution"
LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - On the heels of winning the Emmy for outstanding reality series, ABC has given a second-season order to "Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution."
ABC has picked up six new episodes of the show from the Ryan Seacrest-produced series, which will begin production this winter for a midseason or summer run.
The first season of the show echoed Oliver's original UK hit, chronicling his overhaul of a West Virginia school lunch program. For the second season, the show will move to Los Angeles and broaden out, helping people of all ages improve their eating habits in schools, homes, workplaces and even restaurants.
The informative and altruistic series drew critical raves during its midseason run, and averaged 5.5 million viewers during a tough Friday time period. Seacrest and Oliver serve as executive producers. .
This year both top reality Emmy winners were food shows, with "Food Revolution" taking home the outstanding reality series award and Bravo's "Top Chef" ending the "Amazing Race" monopoly of best competition series.
