Mother and daughter duos will also be the focus of the channel's upcoming series You're Wearing That?!?, which premieres May 14 at 10/9c. The show lets mothers and daughters vent about the other's wardrobe. Upcoming participants will include American Idolfinalist Kimberley Locke, professional poker player Annie Duke and others.

Next month, WE will premiere Girl Meets Gown and Sunset Daze. Girl Meets Gown, debuting April 25 at 10/9c, chronicles brides-to-be in their search for the perfect wedding gown at two Texas bridal boutiques. Sunset Daze, which premieres April 28 at 10/9c, takes a behind-the-scenes look at a Arizona retirement community and its eclectic residents.

Downsized, which will debut later this year, follows a real-life Brady Bunch-like family as they navigate the current economic recession. In 2011 comes Fix My Family, a new series where psychiatrist Dr. Tara Fields moves in with a different family each week to help them fix unresolved problems.

The cable channel has also renewed Raising Sextuplets for a second season, which starts June 30 at 10/9c.

WE also has four new series currently in development. Wayne's World will profile the many women in Newton's family who help the longtime entertainer manage his personal and professional lives. Elsewhere in Sin City, Wild Flowers will look at the women behind the floral shop Enchanted Florist as they struggle to balance work and play.

Taking a page from successful series Ace of Cakes and Cake Boss, Staten Island Cakes follows 19-year-old Vinny as he manages both a successful pastry shop and his very opinionated family. Dr. Halligan Project showcases the practice, as well as romantic life, of veterinarian Karen "Doc" Halligan.

The cable channel has also picked up former WB witch drama Charmed, which debuts June 21 at 5/4c and will air twice daily.
