SOAPnet has ordered a second season of its one-hour reality series “I Wanna Be a Soap Star,” a contest where viewers compete for a slot on ABC’s “All My Children.”

The announcement was made by SOAPnet General Manager Deborah Blackwell at the Television Critics Association press tour Wednesday. The second season will premiere in July.

Ms. Blackwell also announced a fourth season of “They Started On Soaps” and the acquisition of two short-lived broadcast series — the 2003 Fox drama “Skin” and the 1995 ABC drama “The Monroes.”
