Bravo Announces New Shows… And Yes, They’re Gay-Inclusive
April 15, 2009
Bravo held its upfront presentation in New York yesterday, announcing the renewal of some audience favorites (Top Chef, anyone?) as well as some brand new series that are firmly in step with other Bravo shows: they are absolutely inclusive of the LGBT community.
Perhaps the most exciting news is that Bravo is launching two scripted series, a first for a network that is known for its unscripted programming. Blueprint, from Laurence Andries (Six Feet Under) is a dramedy following two best friends — one straight, one gay — who own an architecture and interior design firm in New York. No word on casting yet, but you can bet we’re keeping our eyes peeled for this one!
The other scripted series is called 30 Under 30, which revolves around New York up-and-comers including a chef, a gossip blogger, an artist and a real estate agent. The orientation for these characters has yet to be announced, but knowing Bravo’s history of highlighting an LGBT chef, blogger, artist and real estate agent in every one of its reality shows, there’s got to be someone gay in this one.
Jackie Warner
The network announced a number of unscripted series, but we’ll highlight five here:
- Jackie’s Gym Takeover stars Work Out’s Jackie Warner revamping gyms (a la Tabatha’s Salon Takeover)
- Sarah Jessica Parker is executive producing American Artist, a competition series that pits 12 aspiring artists against one another
- Design Sixx follows a husband-and-wife real estate makeover team
- Kell on Earth is all about Kelly Cutrone and her life running fashion PR house People’s Revolution
- Launch My Line is a fashion competition series (Ed. note: now that they’ve lost Project Runway, we’re happy to see Bravo’s keeping fashion alive)
A bunch of our faves are returning to Bravo as well!
