Celebrities be warned! After a successful season sending up shows like “Mob Wives,” “The Real Housewives,” “Toddlers and Tiaras,” and “Jersey Shore,” VH1 announced today that “Stevie TV” will return for a second season of pop culture parody at the hands of sketch comedy chameleon and series star Stevie Ryan.


Each episode will again be packed with Stevie’s signature brand of quirk and comedy in fast-paced, irreverent sketches along with the mixed-up music videos, mashed-up movie trailers, dead-on celebrity impersonations and fake commercials that fans crave. The second season of “Stevie TV” is slated to premiere this fall on VH1.

Fans can catch Stevie Ryan and all of her crazy characters during the season one finale of “Stevie TV” airing this Sunday, April 22 at 11pm ET . Sketch highlights from the episode include Kim Zolziak’s “Behind the Music,” fan-favorite Katrina checking into the “Bad Girls Club” and Facebook’s frightening new plan for world domination.

“We’ve been so impressed with Stevie’s comedic talent and creativity during the first season of her irreverent take on all things celebrity and pop culture. She is a rare example of successful female humor on television, and we’ve proud to have her as part of the VH1 family,” said Tom Calderone, President, VH1. “Fans of Stevie TV continued to grow throughout her first season, which has consistently trended nationally on Twitter since its debut.”
