If you like VH1 programming, well, get ready for more of it. Many of our successful series, including Tool Academy and I Want To Work for Diddy, have been renewed for additional seasons and are set to return to air shortly. Peep the press release for full details (including your chance to try out for the second season of I Want To Work for Diddy):

On the heels of another viewership milestone, VH1 has ordered additional seasons for six hit series including: I Want To Work For Diddy (season 2), Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew (season 3), Brooke Knows Best (season 2), Gotti’s Way (season 2), and Tool Academy (season 2).

In addition, VH1’s own Tiffany “New York” Pollard is set to star in a new show on the channel with New York Goes To Work, where she will have to learn a new job skill each week.  VH1 has also greenlit a spin-off of Celebrity Rehab that will venture into the rarely talked about world of sexual addiction in Sex Rehab with Dr. Drew.

The renewals and greenlights arrive as the number of successful VH1 series continue to grow. Rock Of Love Bus with Bret Michaels and I Love Money 2 drew huge audiences in first quarter, averaging at least 1 million total viewers in their premiere episodes. New VH1 shows Tool Academy, VH1 Tough Love, For The Love of Ray J and Sober House all averaged at least 1 million total viewers as well in their premiere episodes throughout this past first quarter. Based on that definition, VH1 has debuted more new hit series than any other cable network so far this year.

“VH1 is riding high on its most successful wave of original hit programming yet.  We launched more new hit series than any other cable network in the first quarter of 2009,” said Jeff Olde, Executive Vice President, Original Programming & Production, VH1. “Much of our momentum can be credited to many of the franchises and talent that we’re renewing today.  These upcoming projects will continue to set the mark for reality television while connecting with some of the most loyal viewers in all of television.”
