E! Chief Executive Officer Ted Harbert is expected to announce the renewal of the Paris Hilton-Nicole Richie show at a TV Critics Association press event, Daily Variety reported.
The renewal is a triumph for producers Bunim-Murray Prods. and 20th Century Fox TV after Fox Broadcasting canceled the show last fall.
E! also bought 36 episodes from the first three seasons of "The Simple Life," Daily Variety reported in November.
