`Secret Life` Returning For Second Season

The series, by Brenda Hampton, has received an order for 24 episodes, one more than the 23 episodes that comprised "Teenager's" two-part first season. The show's sophomore season premiere is tentatively slated for the summer.

"Teenager," which launched last summer and will wrap the second portion of its first season March 23, stars Shailene Woodley, Molly Ringwald, Mark Derwin, India Eisley, Ken Baumann, Daren Kagasoff, Francia Raisa, Megan Park and Greg Finley.

It is the highest-rated original series in ABC Family's history and ranks as the top cable series in the Monday 8 p.m hour and the top series on any network among females age 12-34.
