'My Big Fat American Gypsy Wedding' EP Says Gaining the Group's Trust Was 'Incredibly Difficult'

Ahead of Friday's first-year finale, the cable network has renewed My Big Fat American Gypsy Wedding for a second season, The Hollywood Reporter has learned exclusively. In addition, the network has set two specials from the series including a reunion episode and a potential spinoff revolving around the show's popular sisters.

My Big Fat American Gypsy Wedding: The Stanley Sisters, which will air July 1 at 9 p.m., will revolve around Nettie, Mellie, Kayla and Laura, who have been featured prominently throughout the first season of the series. The focus in the hourlong special will explore the sisters' family dynamics. Should the special perform well, it will serve as a back-door pilot for a potential spinoff of the flagship effort.
