ABC Family Lines Up New Original Reality Series

BURBANK: ABC Family, which becomes Freeform next month, has given the go-ahead to The Letter, a new original reality show from Leftfield Entertainment's Sirens Media.

The Letter will spotlight friends helping each other become better versions of themselves by using honesty and tough love. The program is slated to begin production in 2016. Executive producers for Sirens Media are Rebecca Toth Diefenbach, Valerie Haselton and Lucilla D'Agostino.

"When your best friends tell you what you 'really need to hear,' it can be very emotional—whether hurtful, helpful, kind or hopeful," said Karey Burke, ABC Family's executive VP of programming and development. "All these emotions and transformations are explored in our explosive new reality series, The Letter."
