Please note that there has not yet been official confirmation from The WB on this, though I am hearing that things look very good!

From "Showbiz Buzz" at Teenmag.com:

To all "Young Americans" fans, you have major cause for celebration! Though early reviews of the show weren't good, the ratings have been great and fan response has been even greater! So, even though the show originally had no slot in the WB's Fall schedule, I hear that the network has green lit more episodes, which will begin airing early 2001.

In the meantime, keep tuned to Wednesday nights for the rest of the summer, as the romance between Scout and Bella heats up. In case you haven't heard, they are definitely NOT brother and sister . . .
