U.S. television personality Mario Lopez is to star in a new reality series about his transition from bachelorhood to fatherhood, VH1 said Wednesday.
Their series, as yet untitled, is expected to feature eight half-hour episodes and is set to premiere this fall.
Lopez is best known for his work on the long-running sitcom "Saved by the Bell" and as host of the entertainment news program "Extra."
"Our audience has grown up with Mario. They have watched him go from a kid in a fictional high school to a man who has succeeded in many different facets in the TV business. We're thrilled that we get to be a part of his next transition into fatherhood," Jeff Olde, executive vice president of original programming and production, said in a statement.
"This new series fits perfectly with VH1's programming because Mario's upcoming life changes reflect the same family milestones that many of our viewers are experiencing for the first time."
