Production history

[edit]

On August 9, 2011, Lifetime announced they had green-lit the series for an eight episode first season but the network had yet to decide who was going to lead the series.[1] On October 6, 2011, after numerous casting calls, it was announced that Deborah Tillman was chosen to be "America's Supernanny".[2]

On December 4, 2012, Lifetime announced that the series had been renewed for a second season, which debuted on January 8, 2013, with the new title America's Supernanny: Family Lockdown. Tillman visited the homes of families who requested her help to raise their children, and the families were visited on notice, rather than by surprise.
