Egypt Sherrod's "Property Virgins" HGTV spin-off show "Flipping Virgins" has been given a greenlight for a second 12-episode season, she told me exclusively.
The first season debuted last year with just four episodes. It was more like a test run. Sherrod, a real estate agent and investor herself, teaches neophytes how to flip homes for the first time.
The former V-103 mid-day host will continue to host "Property Virgins," which she has been doing for several seasons and features couples buying their first home.
The second season of "Flipping Virgins" will remain in Atlanta, she said, and production will begin soon.

FXX cancelled an animated series partly created by an Atlanta-based "Archer" producer after seeing the pilot, according to Hollywood Reporter. Called "Cassius & Clay," the action-buddy comedy focused on two women living as bandits in a futuristic, post-apocalyptic America.
The series was picked up in August and was co-created by Adam Reed ("Archer") and Megan Ganz ("Modern Family"). It featured the voice talent of Kaitlin Olson, Lake Bell and Susan Sarandon.

Fox's reality show "Home Free" is returning for a second season after a modest debut last summer and will come back to Atlanta.
Production is set to begin next month. The concept last year featured a major surprise reveal for the contestants. Couples thought they were competing for one home by fixing up other homes. But in reality, every contestant ended up with a home.
Clearly, "Home Free" for a second season will have to come up with another concept since the element of surprise is gone.
