A month and a half after Lifetime cancelled the Comedy-drama series, the cable network inked a deal with producer Sony Pictures Television to bring the show back for a fifth season. The news came as a reversal after Lifetime cancelled the hour-long drama in January, as talks with Sony Pictures Television for cost-cutting options to continue the series stalled. The decision to bring back the series suggests that the two sides reached a new, more cost-effective agreement.Justin Deeley joined the cast this season as Paul, Jane's new guardian angel. Investor Barbara Corcoran from ABC's Shark Tank series guest stars as herself in an episode where Stacy seeks advice on how to make her pakery profitable. Episode eight served as the summer finale on August 11, with the remainder of the season returning on October 6.
