Jamie Oliver gets second US series

Jamie Oliver's US show has been commissioned for a second series by the ABC network after winning an Emmy. While series one of Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution focused on "the unhealthiest city in America" – Huntington, West Virginia – the second series is due to tackle the obesity problems in the second-largest city in the US, Los Angeles. The first series will be called Jamie's American Food Revolution in the UK and is due to begin airing on Channel 4 on 13 September. Filming on the second series is to begin later this year. Both series are co-productions between Oliver's Fresh One company and Ryan Seacrest Productions. Zoe Collins and Roy Ackerman are executive producing the series on behalf of Fresh One, alongside Seacrest, who is a host of American Idol, and the US producers Craig Armstrong and Charles Wachter. Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution has been a ratings success for ABC and won the 2010 Emmy award for outstanding reality series last month. The Food Revolution format is based on the Channel 4 series Jamie's Ministry of Food and Jamie's School Dinners programmes and is part of Oliver's ongoing campaign to improve the way people eat. • To contact the MediaGuardian news desk email [email protected] or phone 020 3353 3857.
