ABC Family is giving a little more love to Kyle XY, which became the most-watched original series on the network last year. According to The Hollywood Reporter the science-fiction program, which was given a 13-episode pickup last August, has been picked up for 10 more episodes. That's 23 episodes, folks. Pretty decent for a cable series.

Why the extension? According to Paul Lee, president over at ABC Family, it's due to the quality of the new episode; executives have been so delighted with the shows for season two that the order for new episodes was released. In addition, Lee states that Kyle XY has defined the network. I can believe that because before Kyle the network was known more for repeats of Step by Step than for original programming.

For those of you unfamiliar with Kyle XY, it chronicles the adventures of a mysterious teenager with superhuman powers (yes, another one of those) who has no memory or history of his past life. In the second season, which begins on June 11th, viewers will be introduced to some of Kyle's past and how he gained his abilities. The new order of episodes will air sometime early in 2008.
