Talk about putting all your eggs in one basket! Geez, Lifetime! I guess when a network finds its niche, audience, and all-around tongue-wagging cash cow, it will run with it. And twirl. And plie, And pirouette. Abby Lee Miller is becoming quite the brand.

I thought the Dance Moms franchise had been spread thin, what with Abby's Ultimate Dance Competition and the new Abby's Studio Rescue, but clearly I was wrong. I can admit it. However, I can predict that the mothers of the original show are going to have a lot to say about this news! Holy spin-off!

I have no Maddie-face for this news, and I have a feeling Melissa Ziegler is going to amp up her game when it comes to kissing up to Abby. Mack-Z may have a single, but MacKenzie's biggest competition is getting her own show.

That's right! Set your DVRs for Raising Asia! According to The Wrap, Asia Monet Ray will be getting her own spin-off on Lifetime. The series is produced by the same team behind all of the Dance Moms franchise (thanks, Jeff Collins!), and follows Asia as she pursues her dance career outside the studio. We'll also be introduced to her body-building father and younger sister.

Raising Asia is set to premiere on July 29th, and, because Lifetime likes to air the longest seasons EVER, viewers will be treated to fourteen episodes. FOURTEEN! The saddest part? I'll totally be watching.
