There will be a third season of 'Starting Over'.
Here is the official press release:
NBC Universal Domestic Television Distribution has renewed the daytime syndicated series "Starting Over" for a third season in 92 percent of the country. The unscripted sobfest has been given time period upgrades in 35 major markets, benefiting lucky viewers in cities including Chicago, Houston and Cleveland.
"The success of 'Starting Over' has proven that there is a place in daytime television for positive, empowering, reality drama," says series creator and executive producer Jon Murray ("The Real World"). "In our third season, we will continue to innovate with the fresh, compelling, real-life stories that have made 'Starting Over' a must-see program for the daytime audience."
"Starting Over," which relocated from Chicago to Los Angeles in its second season, is up for two Daytime Emmys, including outstanding special class series. The show, which gives struggling women the chance to restart their lives with the help of doctors, coaches and lots of peer support, has shown 36 percent grown among women 25-54, giving NBC Universal added hope.
"'Starting Over' is truly becoming a daytime franchise and we head into our third season with tremendous momentum, especially with women under 50, which is so rare and valuable in daytime," says NBC Universal's Barry Wallach. "Jonathan Murray and the team at Bunim-Murray have done a terrific job of producing a special daily series that is resonating with the daytime audience."
The "Starting Over" coaches are apparently already attracting big crowds as they tour the country on the 15-city "Starting Over in America Tour."
Congrats to the show! We love Starting Over!
