ABC Family has green-lit a new show from the creator of The Gilmore Girls for a full series. Amy Sherman-Palladino's Bunheads is set to begin production this spring with Tony-winning stage actor Sutton Foster in the lead role. The scripted drama follows a Las Vegas showgirl who marries a small town guy on a whim and moves to his rural home, where she begins teaching dance.

The green light is the latest in a string at ABC Family.
