Almost two decades after the debut of Singled Out, which launched the TV careers of Chris Hardwick and Jenny McCarthy, MTV is betting on another dating show for the 18-34 set. I’ve learned that the network is picking up The Hook-Up, a dating show hosted by Andrew Schulz, star of MTV2′s hit reality series Guy Code. I hear The Hook-Up, from Think Factory Media (Hatfields & McCoys) is getting a 20-episode order. Schulz, repped by Roar, Innovative and attorney Lev Ginsburg, also is attached to MTV’s upcoming Girl Code, an offshoot from Guy Code, and appeared on MTV2′s Hip Hop Squares and in the FX pilot Bronx Warrants. In other MTV news, MTV2 just announced a second-season pickup of Mac Miller And The Most Dope Family for a 2014 premiere.

FX has announced that Wilfred has been renewed for a third season. The next round of episodes, totaling 13 in all, will begin production next spring for a June 2013 start date.
There are two big changes that will occur for the upcoming season of Wilfred, as David Zuckerman has stepped down from his role as showrunner, replaced by Reed Agnew and Eli Jorné, who were involved in the first two seasons. Zuckerman, who adapted the original Australian series for American television, will reportedly stay put on Wilfred as an executive producer.
Additionally, Wilfred will be without Louie for the first time next summer, as the latter was put on an extended hiatus recently and won't return until the spring of 2014. Thus, it should be interesting to see what FX chooses to do with the Thursdays at 10:30 time slot next summer. They could always move Anger Management into the 10:00 hour,...
