E! Announces New Reality Series

LOS ANGELES: E! Entertainment Television has ordered an eight-episode series, The Lamas Family, from Mike Fleiss and Warner Horizon Television, as well as a new show from Ryan Seacrest Productions and Bunim-Murray Productions featuring two of the Kardashian sisters.

From the producers of E!’s Keeping Up with the Kardashians, the new half-hour reality series Kourtney and Khloe in Miami premieres in August. It follows the two sisters as they set up a Dash boutique in Miami.

"E! viewers have fallen in love with Kourtney and Khloe’s outspoken, unpredictable and highly entertaining personalities," said Lisa Berger, the executive VP of original programming and series development for E!  "It is exciting to work once again with Ryan Seacrest and Bunim-Murray to bring viewers a new series with Kourtney and Khloe.  They had been looking to open another store and thought Miami was the perfect place.  We knew fans could not miss out on this drama-filled duo as they invade such a beautiful, vibrant and notoriously wild city as Miami."

The Lamas Family, meanwhile, features actor Lorenzo Lamas; his ex-wife and mother of three; Michele Smith; and offspring Shayne, the 23-year-old who made it to the finale on ABC’s The Bachelor; A.J., an actor and notorious ladies man, and Dakota, a motivated teen who has the music industry in her sights.

"This is a family only Hollywood could produce," said Berger. "From the twists and turns of the interpersonal dynamics to the hilarious antics, we know viewers will be highly entertained. We are excited to work with Mike Fleiss and Warner Horizon who have a track record of creating fantastic shows that speaks for itself. We have no doubt they will be able to capture all the comedy and drama that makes this cast of characters so appealing."
