MTV renews critically-praised 'Newlyweds' for an additional six episode season
By Wade Paulsen, 10/10/2003
The Hollywood Reporter reports
that MTV has ordered a second season of its surprise-hit summer series Newlyweds,
focusing on the celebrity marriage of former 98 Degrees singer Nick Lachey, 29, and
"pop tart" Jessica Simpson, 23, who had the smash hit "Irresistible."
The second-season order consists of an additional six episodes, which will air in 2004.
