Good news for fans of Kelly Sullivan (ex-Sage Warner, The Young and the Restless; ex-Connie Faconeri, General Hospital): TLC has decided to renew her successful new series, Too Close To Home.

The network's first scripted program managed to pull in an impressive 4.2 million viewers during its season one premiere on August 22, propelling TLC to its highest rated Monday in over a year. The series also placed #3 in primetime drama series being talked about on Twitter (in part due to you, loyal soap fans!).

"Our audience was ready for a move into the scripted space, and Too Close To Home has whet their appetite to see more. More twists, more heartbreak and certainly more of Tyler Perry's notoriously dramatic writing," says Nancy Daniels, President and General Manager, TLC.

Coming up this season, Anna (Danielle Savre) must face the past that she so eagerly left behind, and her new reality may prove too much for her to handle. Back in Happy, Alabama, Anna reunites with her controlling mother, Jolene (Trisha Stahl); her sweet yet overburdened sister, Bonnie (Kelly Sullivan); and her drug-addicted sister, Shelby (Brooke Anne Smith). Although she's left behind a mess in D.C., there are serious problems brewing in Happy, and Anna is quickly thrown into the drama. She also has to confront unfinished business with her high school sweetheart, Brody (Brock O'Hurn). Broken and battered, Anna must ultimately seek help and forgiveness from the same people she abandoned for a "better" life.
