ABC Family has picked up three pilots: 10 Things I Hate About You, Ruby and the Rockits and Perfect 10. ABC Family has had its best year ever, including the hit The Secret Life of the American Teenager. The three new shows are sure to follow ABC Family's great, wholehearted comedy and drama scripts that they do best.

10 Things I Hate About You is a half-hour series based on the 1999 film of the same name starring the late Heath Ledger (I truly miss him) and Julia Stiles. The series will focus on sisters Kate and Bianca Stratford (Meaghan Jette Martin, Lindsey Shaw). They attend Padua High School and like all teen girls, juggle their social lives and boys. However, Kate and Bianca have to manage a life and their over-protective dad (Larry Miller). Kate is impatient to make a difference in the world, is strong-willed and a feminist, while Bianca is more concerned with her looks and popularity. Ethan Peck, grandson of Gregory Peck, will play Kat's love interest, Patrick.

Ruby and the Rockits is a half-hour comedy starring Alexa Vega (Spy Kids) as Ruby, the teenage daughter of David Callahan (David Cassidy) and niece of Patrick Callahan (Patrick Cassidy), brothers and former teen idols in the band The Rockits. Since David continues to tour, he turns to Patrick to help raise Ruby.

Perfect 10 is a one hour drama revolving around the world of competitive gymnastics and follows a group of teen Olympic hopefuls. There's newcomer Emily Kmetko (Chelsea Hobbs), top gymnast Payson Keeler (Ayla Kell), her mom Kim, (Peri Gilpin, Frasier), the beautiful Kaylie Cruz (Josie Loren) and the gym's hottie Carter Anderson (Zachary Burr Abel).

Also coming up is Au Pair 3: Adventure in Paradise, which is set to premiere in March. April is set to premiere an untitled romantic comedy starring Melissa Joan Hart and Joey Lawrence as two strangers who fake a relationship, engagement and wedding in order to get gifts and cash from their friends. And of course, they fall for each other. Both of these TV movies are classic ABC Family style and should be a cute and lighthearted way to start spring!

Last but not least, Greek and Lincoln Heights will be returning to their normal slots in the ABC Family lineup.
