CBS has added two more shows to its mid-season lineup. Both shows are reality-based, and premiere in January.

The first show, "Wickedly Perfect," is about the search for the next great style maker, and debuts Thursday, Jan. 6 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT). Hosted by former ABC's "Good Morning America" host Joan Lunden, "Wickedly Perfect" pits 12 people with a creative knack for the finer things in life in a no-holds-barred competition to crown the country's new authority on at-home living.

And then there's "The Will," a new reality series from Mike Fleiss (creator of "The Bachelor" and "The Bachelorette"), who describes it as "reality TV meets 'Dynasty.'" "The Will" premieres Saturday, Jan. 8 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT).

The show seems inspired, albeit ever so loosely, by Shakespeare's "King Lear"--as a wealthy patriarch will put a large portion of his estate up for grabs as 10 potential heirs, both family and friends, compete against each other in both physical and mental challenges in an effort to win rewards and stave off elimination. As each potential heir fights to stay in the game, they'll also need to stay in the patriarch's good graces in order to survive.
