CMT has announced that I Love Kellie Pickler, Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders: Making the Team and Steve Austin’s Broken Skull Challenge will all return to the network this year.
The second season of I Love Kellie Pickler will begin Aug. 25. The 2015 series debut marked CMT’s highest-rated premiere among women between the ages of 18-49 since 2008. The series stars Kellie Pickler and her husband, songwriter Kyle Jacobs.
Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders: Making the Team will also start its 11th season on Aug. 25. Pickler and Kacey Musgraves will both make guest appearances on the show. The new season of Steve Austin’s Broken Skull Challenge will start later this year but no premiere date has been announced.
“CMT’s unscripted series mirror the optimism and passion of our fans,” said Jayson Dinsmore, Executive Vice President of Development. “Our shows are smart, spirited and play an important role in attracting new audiences.”
