Caitlyn Jenner’s reality TV series “I Am Cait” is reportedly getting a second chance.
A source close to the show says E! renewed Jenner’s show for a second season that could air in March 2016, BuzzFeed is reporting.

The "I Am Cait" series educated Caitlyn Jenner on problems facing transgender men and women in the United States. |
Another season seemed far-fetched after a lackluster first season that
failed to attract ample ratings surrounding the 65-year-old’s transition
to living as a woman.
A publicist for Jenner told the Daily News he had “no knowledge” of “I Am Cait” being renewed as of early Monday.
E! declined to comment on the show’s renewal, according to BuzzFeed.
Viewership dropped by half after the show’s first episode with its
lowest rating on Aug. 23 — only a viewership of 1.02 as Jenner attended
an event during NYC’s Pride Week.

The eight episode series followed the former Olympic athlete’s journey
to living as a trans woman, often bringing transgender women, such as
Candis Cayne and Jennifer Finney Boylan, along to enlighten Jenner on
social and economic issues endured by those with a gender identity
disorder.
But the show was often scrutinized by trans activists because Jenner voiced conservative beliefs that conflicted with their highly-sought gender rights such as low-income subsidies.
The show attracted only a small fraction of the 16.9 million viewers
that tuned into watch Jenner big reveal to Diane Sawyer in April, her
long-rumored transition to living as a woman.
News of Jenner's renewal comes as a possible misdemeanor vehicular manslaughter charge looms over the reality star.
