VH1 Orders Second Season of CANDIDLY NICOLE

Fashion icon, Creative Director of House of Harlow 1960, actress, author, entrepreneur and philanthropist Nicole Richie will bring her unfiltered sense of humor and unique ability to infiltrate any environment to VH1 for a second season of "Candidly Nicole." The series, produced by Telepictures and World of Wonder, is based on the successful AOL online series of the same name. "Candidly Nicole" will return in Spring/Summer 2015.

"'Candidly Nicole' has surpassed every goal that we set for the launch. The series increased viewers in its time period by 50 percent, attracted thousands of new viewers to the channel and shared Nicole Richie's sharp wit and comedic flair for highlighting some of the absurdities of the real world," said Susan Levison, EVP of Original Programming and Production for VH1. "We couldn't be more thrilled to work with Nicole on another season."

Voted one of the "best Twitter feeds" by Time magazine, Nicole takes audiences on a fun and intimate ride through her own amusing point of view based on her outlandish reflections on social media (where she has more than four million followers). The show details her daily adventures and gives insight into her decisions on style, relationships, work life and everything in between. Her one-of-a-kind, tongue-in-cheek commentary inspires people to laugh, learn and shake their head in wonderment. "Candidly Nicole" increased Live+3 ratings in the key 18-49 adult demo by 50 percent in its time period compared to the same time period last year.

Richie rose to prominence for her role in the massive hit television series, "The Simple Life," which lasted five seasons and brought Richie international recognition. Afterward, she turned her focus to other projects including charity work, environmental issues, writing and starting a family.

Richie married musician Joel Madden, had two children and founded The Richie Madden Children's Foundation. She currently acts as the Creative Director for House of Harlow 1960, offering ready-to-wear, jewelry, eyewear, footwear and handbags.

Richie has recently starred as one of the three mentors on NBC's "Fashion Star" and is also a New York Times best-selling author of the novel The Truth About Diamonds.

Nicole Richie is repped by WME, Impression Entertainment and Grubman, Shire & Meiselas.

"Candidly Nicole" is produced by Telepictures and World of Wonder. Nicole Richie, Michael Baum, Randy Barbato, Fenton Bailey, Tom Campbell and Carrie Franklin serve as executive producers. Executive producing for VH1 are Susan Levison, Jill Holmes and Kristen Kelly.
