ABC FAMILY'S HIT COMEDY "10 THINGS I HATE ABOUT YOU" RETURNS ON MONDAY, MARCH 29 AT 8:00PM ET/PT

Burbank, CA (January 12, 2010) � ABC Family's original comedy series "10 Things I Hate About You" will return with ten all-new half-hour episodes beginning Monday, March 29 (8:00PM-8:30PM ET/PT). The critically acclaimed series, recently named by New York Times as one of the "Top 10 Television Shows of 2009," bowed this summer as the network's highest rated comedy in its history. The series is executive-produced by Carter Covington and Robin Schiff, and stars Larry Miller, Lindsey Shaw, Meaghan Martin, Ethan Peck, Nicholas Braun and Dana Davis.

The half-hour series centers on the Stratford sisters, Kat (Shaw) and Bianca (Martin), as they both approach high school with very contradictory goals. Kat is a strong-willed, in-your-face feminist who is looking to save the world and get out of high school as fast as she can. Bianca is a social butterfly whose only concern is that she be popular, at any cost. As they both attend Padua High, the girls try to find what they want while navigating the popular crowd, boys and their over-protective Dad (Miller).
