Fox News has renewed interview series OBJECTified for a second season, the network said Thursday.

The series, which profiles celebrities who tell their life stories through the objects they’ve chosen to keep over the years, will return to the air for its sophomore campaign in fall 2018.

During its first season, the series – which is hosted by TMZ’s Harvey Levin and featured appearances by Tyler Perry, Hulk Hogan, Martha Stewart and Mark Cuban -- averaged nearly 1.2 million in total viewers and 226,000 viewers in the 25-54 demo, and was also the most-watched program in both categories in its timeslot, according to Nielsen.                                                            

OBJECTified is produced by Harvey Levin Productions, Inc. in association with Telepictures, with Levin and Ryan Regan serving as the program’s executive producers alongside FNC Senior Vice President of Development and Production John Finley.
