It announced on Monday that production has started on Nash’s eight-episode docu-series produced by Shed Media US, which is slated to debut in early 2012.

“TLC is a new member of our big family, and we couldn’t be happier,” Nash, 41, says. “There’s a lot of love in our house, but also a lot of mayhem and foolishness – all the kids are acting crazy, I’m busier than ever, and Jay’s never raised girls before. We hope our fans welcome us into their homes… we need the room!”

In June, millions of viewers watched Nash prepare for her second marriage and wedding ceremony with electrical engineer, Jay Tucker. In the process, they combined their families including Nash’s mother, three teenage children and Tucker’s son.

"This series will reveal the journey of bringing a blended family together, and Niecy brings her heartfelt and often hysterical views of being a hard-working mom, wife and daughter,” TLC GM, Amy Winter, says. “Our audience shared in her beautiful and boisterous wedding, and will now get to see what's happening after the honeymoon.”
