With high U.S. ratings making "Flavor of Love" VH1's top-rated original series, the network plans a spinoff based around a series contestant.
Executive producers Cris Abrego and Mark Cronin will head the new series and will attempt to draw in as many eccentric contestants to their show as have been present in the two seasons of "Flavor of Love."
"We're able to cast guys you wouldn't normally see," said Abrego of the new series, which is expected to debut next summer. "We've got investment bankers, lawyers, rappers, unemployed guys living at home ... The best part is each one believes they have amazing game."
Despite a third season of "Flavor" seeming unlikely, Abrego said Flavor Flav's tenure with VH1 is far from over.
"We are developing new show ideas with him," he told Daily Variety. "We think it's time for him to do something new. He's funny and a likeable character."
