5 Things To Look Forward To In "Diva" Season 2

With the second season of my new favourite summer show, Drop Dead Diva, premiering Sunday on Lifetime, I thought I'd ask creator/showrunner Josh Berman what viewers have to look forward to this season. Here's what he had to say:

"1. More surprises - As Jane thinks she's got a handle on her new life, there are more surprises at every turn. I LOVE Brooke Elliott and she's better than ever.

2. More fantastic guest stars: Ricki Lake, Vivica A. Fox, Nancy Grace, Chad Lowe, Cybill Shepard are just a few of them. And the return of Rosie and Paula.

3. More singing and dancing! In fact, the official Drop Dead Diva soundtrack is being released on Amazon and I-Tunes on June 1st! There's an original song from Margaret Cho as well as a duet from Brooke Elliott and Margaret Cho, and an awesome rendition of "Baby, I Need Your Loving" by Ben Feldman. Speaking of Dancing, Thunder From Down Under does a dance number with Jane in a very special and funny episode.

4. Fred -- Jane's guardian angel is back full time -- as a series regular!

5. Family drama - Both Jane's mother and Deb's mother return! And we get to meet Jane's father for the first time."

The just-released soundtrack is available on iTunes and through Amazon.com. It's worth checking out just to hear the actors sing; (you may remember star Brooke Elliott's superb voice from karaoke at Jane's birthday party in one of my favourite episodes of season 1) .To order the CD online click here.
