E! Commits to Originals Seven Nights a Week

LOS ANGELES: E! has unveiled a mix of reality, comedy, news, live events and even a scripted series as part of its upcoming lineup, which includes new spin-offs from the Kardashians franchise and a second season of #RichKids of Beverly Hills.

New series on the roster include Escape Club, which sends 12 twentysomethings looking to escape their lives to an exotic resort where they must do whatever it takes to keep their place in paradise. Botched is a new eight-episode series that features people who are looking to correct extreme plastic surgery gone wrong. The Royals, set to debut in early 2015, marks E!'s first-ever original scripted series. The one-hour drama is about a fictional British Royal Family set in modern-day London.

Returning to the E! schedule are Total Divas, featuring the women of WWE; Eric & Jessie: Game On, with pro football player Eric Decker and country/pop singer Jessie James Decker; and Giuliana & Bill, featuring E!'s own Giuliana Rancic and her husband Bill. Keeping Up with the Kardashians will head into its ninth season this summer, while fall marks the second season of #RichKids of Beverly Hills. E! is lining up another Kardashians spin-off as well, with Kourtney & Khloé Take The Hamptons, coming in fall 2014. There's also another Kardashians spin-off in development, with Dash Dolls. It will follow the girls, who are entrusted to manage the DASH stores launched by Kourtney, Kim and Khloé Kardashian.

There are several new specials coming down the pipeline as well. Ryan Seacrest: Biggest Moments on the Radio (working title) will spotlight the last ten years of "On-Air with Ryan Seacrest." Live from the Red Carpet: iHeart Radio Music Awards will cover the music event live from the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles.
