Bravo is looking to add a bit more Pattie Stanger to our lives.

The network announced a new deal with the star and executive producer of "The Millionaire Matchmaker" that will see her find talent, develop new programs and potentially star in a new series.





"My relationship with Bravo is a match made in heaven," Stanger said in a statement.

"The network's reputation for delivering high-quality, buzz-worthy programming made it an easy decision to extend our business together and include this creative deal. As I say to my clients, 'no sex before monogamy.' Now that Bravo and I are monogamous, I'm ready to hit the sheets."





"With Patti's over-the-top personality and savvy business sense, Bravo could not have found a better development partner to execute our vision and who understands our audience," Eli Lehrer, vice president of development for Bravo, said in a statement.

"We are confident she will be able to seek out and develop a wide range of new series that will prove to be as successful as 'The Millionaire Matchmaker.'"






Last season, "The Millionaire Matchmaker" was watched by an average of 1.9 million viewers.

Season 5 of "The Millionaire Matchmaker" kicks off on Mon., Aug. 15 at 9PM ET on Bravo.
