Plain Jane is an American reality television series that transforms one woman each week. The series debuted on July 28, 2010, on The CW.[1] Despite the series not being renewed by its original network, Sony Pictures Television worked with MTV to produce a second season.[2] An 8-episode second season was greenlit and aired in October 2011.

It was announced in May 2013 that the Style Network would be airing the second season starting on June 3, 2013,[3] but the series has since been removed from the schedule. The series was renewed for a third season of 12 episodes, which aired in 2014.

Format
