Exec producer David Stanley said the timing of the pickup should help in casting for "Celebrity Mole 2." "The fact that we can begin casting during scripted series hiatus should prove helpful, but we are even more confident this time around because the celebrities that were on the show last time have all been very vocal that they had an awesome time," he said.
