All 11 series are docu-reality series and four of them -- Interior Therapy with Jeff Lewis, It's a Brad Brad World, Mad Fashion, and Tabatha Takes Over -- will follow faces already familiar to Bravo viewers while the remaining seven -- Million Dollar Listing NY, Miss Advised, Most Eligible: Dallas, Project Soulmate, Ready to Wear, Roble and Co., and The Therapists -- will follow the business and/or personal lives of various professionals.
Interior Therapy with Jeff Lewis will follow the Flipping Out star and his assistant Jenni as they move into someone else's home and redesign their space while judging their apparent flaws. Lewis will observe the homeowners, diagnose their problems, and then take over their house for five days in attempt to improve not only the house but its owners as well.
Lewis will also continue to star in Flipping Out -- which Bravo renewed for a fifth season in January -- despite the pickup of the new series, according to a network spokesperson.
Interior Therapy with Jeff Lewis is being produced by Authentic Entertainment, the same production company responsible for Flipping Out.
