New E! series announced today include:

"Just Jillian"

Known globally as a fitness mogul, TV megastar and entrepreneur extraordinaire, Jillian Michaels strips down and bares it all in this new docu-follow. While fans may think they know Jillian inside and out, her tough-as-nails personality that captured legions of fans on "The Biggest Loser" is only one aspect of this dynamic celebrity, and for the first time viewers will follow Jillian as she juggles business, family, friendships, victories, failures, laughter, tears and everything in between. "Just Jillian" is an authentic, unfiltered look inside this surprisingly sensitive superstar's private world and family. Produced by ALL3MEDIA AMERICA LLC and Empowered Media, LLC, "Just Jillian" is set to premiere in early 2016. Executive producers are Jillian Michaels, Giancarlo Chersich, Stephen Lambert, Eli Holzman, Brian Veskosky, and Greg Goldman.

"The Comment Section"

This new half-hour comedy series explores the biggest stories of the week and all of the outrageous and hilarious comments made about them on social media. Hosted by comedian Michael Kosta and executive produced by "The Soup"'s Joel McHale and K.P. Anderson, "The Comment Section" will boldly dive into the most dangerous corners of the internet, take out the haters, anoint the heroes and generate an all new brand of laughs from the biggest pop culture stories of the week. Produced by Wilshire Studios Free Period and Pygmy Wolf Productions, the series premieres late summer 2015. Executive producers are Joel McHale, KP Anderson, Jason Burns and Greg Heller.

Original E! projects in development include:

"Famously Single"

With so many apps and websites to join, the dating pool has never been deeper, yet, the struggle to find the one seems harder than ever. And being a celebrity doesn't make it any easier. Eight single celebrities who have been infamously unlucky in love gather under one roof to learn how to (finally) pick the right match. Part dating show, part transformative therapy, these celebs will learn the cold hard truth behind their disastrous romantic history. Under the guidance of a therapist and with the help of a matchmaker, these celebs will take part in a series of exercises, therapy sessions and real dates; all to find the real love that they've lacked up until now. Famously Single is produced by Irwin Entertainment. Executive producers are John Irwin and Damian Sullivan.

"Hollywood Prenup"

Every love story has a beginning, and in this case, it comes with a contract. The wealthiest young people have to protect what is theirs, whether by their own desire or pressure from their family. Hosted by Hollywood relationship guru Gigi Levangie, who famously penned "The Starter Wife," each episode follows couples as they debate everything from kids, to wealth and possessions, to sex and physical appearance, leaving everything on the table for negotiation. All is fair in love and prenups. "Hollywood Prenup" is produced by Evolution Media. Douglas Ross, Greg Stewart, Alex Baskin and Gigi Levangie serve as Executive Producers.

"Girls Guide to Sports"

A studio-based talk show, "Girls Guide to Sports" will cover all of the juicy topics at the intersection of sports and pop culture in terms of gossip, fashion, dating, entertainment and of course today's hottest athletes. Hosted by a panel of experts and rotating guests, fans will be able to call in with their most burning questions and commentary. "Girls Guide to Sports" is produced by Den of Thieves, LLC.
