ABC Family has renewed comedy “Young and Hungry” for a second season. Additionally, it has ordered its first procedural drama, entitled “Stitches.”
“Stitches” comes from writer Jeffrey A. Schechter (“Overruled”). It follows a young woman recruited into a covert government agency to be “stitched” into the minds of the recently deceased using their memories to investigate murders and decipher mysteries that otherwise would have gone to the grave.

Schechter will serve as an executive producer alongside Jonathan Baruch and Rob Wolken.
“Young & Hungry,” which stars Emily Osment as feisty personal chef Gabi, was renewed after ranking as basic cable’s No. 1 telecast in its time period in Adults 18-34 and Women 18-34, as well as other key demos.
