Lifetime Picks Up Second Season Of DietTribe

Lifetime has renewed DietTribe for a second season. The cable network has ordered eight additional episodes of the reality series, which tracks a circle of overweight female friends who have jointly committed to change their lifestyles and eating habits. The series garnered 602,000 viewers for its season-one finale Monday, leading out of Wife Swap.

Lifetime officials said they’re intrigued by the online community that has coalesced around the show; it largely accounts for a 30% increase in traffic to MyLifetime.com in January. Lifetime is targeting a summer launch for season two of the series.
