MTV moves to beef up its lineup of female-driven comedies, greenlighting, among other projects, the new series “Ladylike” from the creators of the network’s “Girl Code.”

In “Ladylike,” “Girl Code” alums Nicole Byer, Jade Catta-Preta and Matteo Lane, and comedian Blair Socci, take to the streets in a half-hour hidden camera prank show as they “redefine what it means to be ‘Ladylike’,” the press release states. With attitude and irreverence the cast will challenge social norms and unleash uncompromising and ridiculous situations on the unsuspecting public.

“Ladylike” is Executive Produced by Ryan Ling (Bird Brain Productions).

“’Girl Code’ is all about smart and funny women who aren’t afraid to talk about anything, and ‘Ladylike’ takes that sensibility to the streets to raise hell and challenge a few gender norms along the way,” said Lauren Dolgen, Head of Reality Programming and Executive Vice President of Series Development.

In addition to “Ladylike,” Nicole Byer will also be starring in another new MTV series which received the greenlight. In the untitled scripted comedy, Byer portrays a young adult who is forced to move in with her sister and four kids in the suburbs after causing a fire in her New York City apartment.  Aunt Nicole will offer her own brand of advice to her sister’s kids while trying to get her life back on track.

Executive Producers include Christian Lander, Avi Gilbert with 3 Arts Entertainment and Nicole Byer will be a consulting producer.

No ETA on the scripted series.
