A new reality series is making its way to the CW.

The network is set to air “Plain Jane,” a makeover/dating reality series, this summer, a CW spokesman said.

Hosted by British fashion expert Louise Roe, each episode of the Sony series will transform one “plain Jane” with a fashion (and confidence) makeover before she embarks on a date with her unsuspecting crush.

Allison Grodner (“Big Brother”), Rich Meehan (“She’s Got the Look”) and Pete Tartaglia (“Real Housewives of Orange County”) are executive producers of the series, which is expected to be in the six- to eight-episode range.

[Update: 12:29 p.m. Wednesday An earlier version of this post attributed the information to Deadline.com, which first reported the pickup. The CW has confirmed the order to Show Tracker.]
