“We are so proud of how Young & Hungry grew during its second season: it ranked as cable’s number one original series in its timeslot in key demos,” said Karey Burke, ABC Family exec vp, programming and development. “We can’t wait to see what is next for this talented ensemble.”
Aimee Carrero, Kym Whitley and Rex Lee also star. The series is exec produced by David Holden, Ashley Tisdale, Jessica Rhoades, Caryn Lucas, and Eric Tannenbaum and Kim Tannenbaum in association with CBS Television Studios.
Young & Hungry‘s renewal comes weeks after ABC Family said goodbye to veteran multicamera hit Melissa & Joey. The channel’s comedy slate also includes multicamera vet Baby Daddy and freshman single-camera series Kevin From Work, which premiered last week. The network rebranded itself to focus on young adults and specifically “becomers“ earlier this year.
