ABC Family just made fans of the comedy series Young & Hungry happy by announcing an early season two renewal of the series starring Emily Osment, Jonathan Sadowski, Aimee Carrero, Kym Whitley, and Rex Lee. The network’s also just acquired its first procedural drama with Stitchers from writer Jeffrey A. Schechter.

Schechter’s also executive producing the series along with Jonathan Baruch and Rob Wolken.

Stitchers is new ground for us and I’m excited to bring procedurals to the network,” said Tom Ascheim, President, ABC Family, announcing the new series. “We think our fans will love the intricate mysteries that Stitchers will solve week to week as much as they love our relationship-driven dramas. We are also going back for seconds of our new comedy, Young & Hungry. Good food, good laughs – of course we want more.”

Stitchers follows a young woman recruited into a covert government agency to be ‘stitched’ into the minds of the recently deceased using their memories to investigate murders and decipher mysteries that otherwise would have gone to the grave.
