ABC Family has greenlit a new drama series Recovery Road from Pilgrim Studios, said network officials.

The series is based on the popular young adult novel by Blake Nelson and focuses on a teenage girl dealing with addiction, said network officials. This announcement comes on the heels of the network's recently announced pick-up of the docu-series My Transparent Life.

The series is the first scripted series greenlit by ABC Family executive vice president of programming and development Karey Burke since she joined the company in October.

“ABC Family is best known for its ground-breaking original series and Recovery Road is right in our wheel-house,” Burke said in a statement. “This series will explore relevant social issues for our audience and shine a light on addiction. It’s a powerful addition to our line up and the strong, authentic characters are sure to resonate with our audience.”   

The pilot for Recovery Road was written by Bert V. Royal (Easy A) and Karen DiConcetto (Ruby & The Rockits), who will also serve as executive producers, alongside Craig Piligian (Abducted: The Carlina White Story) and Beth Miller (Revenge of the Bridesmaids) from Pilgrim Studios and Danielle VonZerneck (Left to Die).

ABC Family will delve into the procedural drama arena with its new drama Stitchers, the network announced Monday.

Stitchers, written by Jeffrey A. Schechter (Overruled!),  follows a young woman recruited into a covert government agency to be ‘stitched’ into the minds of the recently deceased and using their memories to investigate murders. The pilot was written by Schechter, who will executive produce alongside Jonathan Baruch and Rob Wolken.

“Stitchers is new ground for us and I’m excited to bring procedurals to the network,” said Tom Ascheim, President, ABC Family in a statement. “We think our fans will love the intricate mysteries that Stitchers will solve week to week as much as they love our relationship-driven dramas.”

The network also greenlit a second season of its comedy Young & Hungry (pictured), which stars Emily Osmet. Young & Hungry ranks as basic cable’s #1 telecast in its time period in Adults 18-34, and Women 18-34, as well as other key demos.

In other network news, ABC Family has cancelled its freshman comedy series Mystery Girls, starring Tori Spelling and Jennie Garth. The network also said it would not pick up its tennis-themed pilot  Unstrung, but has not made a decision on pilot Recovery Road.
