You may know that I’m already something of a reluctant, if fairly enthusiastic, fan of ABC Family, and most of the shows they put out. If so, I don’t have to sell you on the two new series coming your way this summer (and only really want to sell you on one anyway).
Much as ABC Family may not quite be putting out the best shows on television, if you look at series that are predominantly geared toward a specific demographic… well, I think they might be actually. Younger audiences (and let’s face it, especially female audiences) are caught in a sort of black hole when it comes to television, and shows aimed at them today are either convinced that your brain doesn’t turn on until you’re 20 (actually, it switches off at about 11, and back on at some vague point), or have no real appeal...

ABC Family is jumping into pilot season with orders for two drama pilots. Both shows -- "The Fosters" and "Twisted" -- will begin production in the spring and will air in the summer of 2013.
"The Fosters" tells the story of a multi-ethnic family made up of a mix of foster and biological children. All of the kids are being raised by two moms.
The show will be executive-produced by Jennifer Lopez, Bradley Bredeweg and Peter Paige. The cast includes Teri Polo, Sherri Saum, Jake T. Austin, Hayden Byerly, David Lambert, Maia Mitchell, Danny Nucci and Cierra Ramirez.
"Twisted" (formerly known as "Socio") may be the darker of the two series. It is described as a one-hour mystery centered on a charismatic but troubled 16-year-old boy. After he reconnects with his two female childhood best friends, the boy becomes a prime suspect in the murder of a fellow student.
