Logo Greenlights Trio of Originals

NEW YORK: MTV Networks’ Logo has given the go-ahead for three new original series for its 2011 slate, including another season of its Johnny Weir reality series.

Along with more Be Good Johnny Weir, which looks at the life of one of the most outspoken U.S. figure skaters, Logo has greenlit two workplace docusoaps. Pretty Hurts from Go Go Luckey Productions is a comedic reality series that follows the staff and clients of a high-end Beverly Hills medical office that specializes in liquid face lifts. Setup Squad from Leftfield Pictures, the company behind the hit Pawn Stars, focuses on a Manhattan-based matchmaking service that pairs up professional "wing people" with those who are unlucky in love. These come alongside the recent acquisitions of Nip/Tuck and Will & Grace.

"Logo is in the business of creating fierce, original programming that gets everyone talking as we’ve demonstrated this year with our hit series RuPaul’s Drag Race, RuPaul’s Drag U and The A-List: New York," said Dave Mace, the senior VP of programming at Logo. "Johnny Weir’s talent is as big as his irreverent personality. Pretty Hurts would be a workplace sitcom—if it weren’t actually real life in a Beverly Hills beauty destination. And Setup Squad will follow the hard-working angels who make the dating world a better place, whether you’re gay or straight."
