"Shear Genius" ended its second season on a high note, scoring 1.879 million adults 18-49 and 2.913 million total viewers, marking a series high across all key demos. In its second season, "Shear Genius" was up an impressive 80 percent in adults 18-49 and 91 percent in total viewers versus the season one average.

"Double Exposure" (working title) follows photographers Markus Klinko and Indrani, along with high-end stylist GK Reid, giving viewers a taste of the fast-paced world of high fashion and celebrity photography. From album covers for David Bowie and Beyonc to prize-winning photographs of celebrities like Lindsay Lohan and Kate Winslet, Markus and Indrani have shot virtually every contemporary boldface name and countless other iconic images for fashion campaigns and magazines. With two former lovers working together 18 hours a day in incredibly high-stress environments, filled with deadlines, stretched budgets, expensive locations and demanding talent, it's not unusual for sparks to fly both on camera and outside the frame. "Double Exposure" is produced by Juma Entertainment for Bravo. Bob Horowitz and Lewis Fenton serve as executive producers.

I heart Shear Genius!! I'm glad to see it's coming back!

[raisinthesun]

any idea why Jaqlyn (sp?) wont be coming back this season?

[Harmony2000]

WOOO!!! I LOVE this show!! I can't wait! It's one of my all time favs.

My favorite Angel (Jaclyn Smith) had better be on. Wouldn't be the same without her.

(The Double Exposure show sounds interesting .. I'm a photographer.. so gotta check that one out).

Do we have a date for when Shear Genius is set to go live?

One final thing HEY HEY! (hope Rene Fris is back too).

I was reading on a gossip site a few weeks back and they said [[she wouldn't be back and that Matthew McConaughey's girlfriend/baby mama would be taking her spot.]]

[[WHAT!?!? I hope that is just a rumor, I loved her dry wit and her voice. I'd miss her!]]

Still no info on a premiere. They had auditions months ago. Have they decided not to continue without Jaclyn?
