Bravo Branches Out to Scripted Shows, Adds More Reality

Bravo presented its post-Project Runway plans to advertisers today, and a good deal of the shows look familiar: competitions and reality series focusing on leaders in food, style, and art. The shows will bring some familiar reality stars back to the network and attempt to create some new ones as well. But that's not all: Bravo's also attempting a couple of scripted series. Here's everything Bravo announced, and here are a few of the things that stood out to me:

  • Blueprint and 30 Under 30: Those are Bravo's two scripted shows in development. Blueprint comes from the company behind Gossip Girl and focuses on two New York City architects and friends, one gay and one straight. 30 Under 30, meanwhile, sounds like it could be the scripted version of what happens to Bravo reality stars once their shows are done: its focus is a group of friends (including an up-and-coming chef and a high-end real estate agent) who find themselves on a "30 Under 30" list and thus begin to rise through New York social circles.
  • Kell on Earth and Laura Bennett: Can't get enough Kelly Cutrone on The Hills? No worries: Bravo has ordered a series called Kell on Earth following her and People's Revolution. Meanwhile, Project Runway star Laura Bennett — she of the lace dresses and many children — now has her own show in development.
  • American Artist and Launch My Line — Bravo confirmed its older news that Sarah Jessica Parker's American Artist will become a series. Meanwhile, Launch My Line will feature celebrities competing for the chance to launch their own fashion lines.

Fab Flash: Bravo Replaces Project Runway With New Shows

Running on its last season with Project Runway, Bravo has made plans to fill in their huge prime-time slot.

Running on its last season with Project Runway, Bravo has made plans to fill in their huge prime-time slot.

The network is currently working on a new fashion series dubbed Fashion House. The show will feature designers living and working together as they strive to create and sell their collections to commercial buyers. The winning team will have the opportunity to have its line produced for mass-market sale. Unlike Project Runway, where outside-the-box designs were one of the most important factors in winning, Fashion House focuses more on the business aspect in fashion and mass-market appeal.

The network is also working with Sarah Jessica Parker as the executive producer on a new show named American Artist. The competition will bring together contemporary artists from all mediums, including sculpture, painting, photography, and industrial design, to compete for a gallery show, cash prize, and sponsored national tour. Premiere dates have not been announced for either show, but we'll keep you posted.
