LOS ANGELES, April 15 (UPI) -- Oxygen Media executives unveiled plans in New York Wednesday to expand its popular "Tori & Dean" franchise.

The network said it has ordered a fourth season of the "Tori & Dean" reality series, approved a pilot for a couples makeover show, and is developing a made-for-television movie -- all starring Tori Spelling and her husband Dean McDermott.

"All of our programming initiatives and our decision to move forward with another night of originals underscore Oxygen's long-term strategy to appeal to a very valuable audience," Amy Introcaso-Davis, Oxygen's senior vice president of original programming and development, said in announcing the network's 2009-10 programming slate. "We delivered that coveted demo this past quarter and are 'living out loud' with new projects featuring boisterous, saucy, charismatic and over-the-top personalities whose distinctive voice has set our network apart from the pack."
