MTV is headed for a third season of "The Hills" as the network has ordered up 10 episodes of the unscripted show with an eye to a summer premiere. The second-season finale of "Hills" -- MTV's
top-rated show -- ran Monday. That season was up over the first one by 9% to an average 2.7 million viewers and up 15% to 1.7 million in the 12-24 demo.
The cable net says the show
was consistently the most-watched in its time period among 12-24 across all of television. In addition, MTV.com delivered almost 18 million show-related streams, while two sites linked to the show
have attracted more than 600,000 registered users.
"The success of "The Hills" second season illustrates our strategy to engage viewers across all screens and to give fans the ability
to stay connected to the cast and their stories when they want and where they want," says Lois Curren, MTV president of entertainment and programming.
