ABC Family Orders Pilots For SOCIO and Jennifer Lopez's THE FOSTERS

ABC Family has greenlit two new drama pilots, THE FOSTERS (working title), from executive producer Jennifer Lopez, and SOCIO, from executive producer Gavin Polone. Summer to date, ABC Family's current crop of original series have made ABC Family cable TV's #1 network in Prime in Women 18-34, and the #2 cable TV network in Females 12-34 and Female Teens.

"ABC Family continues to find and develop original programming that adds new dimension and depth to the storytelling we offer," said Kate Juergens, executive vice president, Original Programming and Development, ABC Family. "Both these shows are headed by wonderful executive producers who know the millennial space well and know how to connect with audiences."

From executive producer Jennifer Lopez (AMERICAN IDOL, The Back-Up Plan) and created by Bradley Bredeweg and Peter Paige, who will also serve as writers and executive producers, THE FOSTERS is a one-hour drama about a multi-ethnic family mix of foster and biological kids being raised by two moms. Simon Fields and Greg Gugliotta will also serve as executive producers. The series is produced by Nuyorican Productions, Inc., and Prodco, Inc.

SOCIO is a one-hour drama centered on a charismatic 16-year-old alleged sociopath who recently reconnected with his two female best friends from childhood, and who becomes the prime suspect when a fellow student is murdered. The series will be executive-produced by Gavin Polone (GILMORE GIRLS). Adam Milch (GREEK), who wrote the pilot, will also serve as co-executive producer. The series is produced by Prodco, Inc.
