Oxygen Renews Celeb-Based Reality Series

NEW YORK, January 23: Oxygen
Media, now owned by NBC Universal, has renewed its hit series Tori &
Dean…Still Inn Love (working title) for a
third season.

Last season, the series followed
Tori Spelling (Beverly Hills 90210) and
husband Dean McDermott as they ventured to open a country inn, called Chateau
La Rue. The new 8×1-hour season will see the couple leave behind their bed and
breakfast, buy a new home and search for preschools for their son Liam. The
couple created the show and executive produced it along with Fenton Bailey and
Randy Barbato of World of Wonder Productions, the production team behind the
Bravo series Million Dollar Listing and Show
Biz Moms & Dads.

“Over the last year, Tori and Dean have become one of
America’s favorite families and one of Oxygen’s break-out series,” said Lauren
Zalaznick, the president of Oxygen Media. “They’re a modern day Lucy and Ricky.
They’ve got a great sense of humor about themselves, trying to juggle the
demands of parenthood, marriage, their families and their work lives.”

Tori & Dean is managed by Aaron Meyerson, Oxygen’s senior VP of
development and production, and Kristen Connolly Vadas, Oxygen’s VP of
development, serves as the executive in charge.
