SONY PICTURES TELEVISION, which holds rights to the popular show about a musical family, will produce a reality series for the cable channel chronicling the casting of the new Partridges as well as a scripted half-hour pilot featuring the winners.


“‘The Partridge Family’ is a part of pop culture that everyone remembers with tremendous fondness,” said Zack Van Amburg, senior vice president development and cable programming at SPT. “VH1 is just the right network for this.”
No production date or location has been set, but VH1 is aiming to make it one of the tentpoles of its 2004 schedule. “We have high hopes for this,” a spokeswoman for the network said.
To executive produce the series, Sony turned to Ken Mok, who has extensive experience with reality projects that launch new talent, including “America’s Next Top Model,” “Tough Enough” and “Making the Band.” The project will enter preproduction in the next few weeks.
