"The appeal and success of Little Miss Sunshine illustrates that this competitive world really exists," said TLC executive Howard Lee. "These children and their parents pour so much energy into wanting to win and it's fascinating to watch."
Toddlers and Tiaras isn't the first reality series inspired by Little Miss Sunshine, a 2006 Oscar-winning film that followed a fractured family as they attempted to get their young daughter to a children's beauty pageant.
Three months ago, WE tv ordered Little Miss Perfect, which would follow Florida families who entered their 5- to 11-year-old daughters in a beauty competition.
WE tv ordered six one-hour episodes of Little Miss Perfect from NorthSouth Prods., and the series is slated to debut early next year.
Toddlers and Tiaras is being produced by Authentic Entertainment and is currently scheduled to premiere in late January.
