On Dec. 9, filming starts in B.C. and the U.S. on a new reality series featuring Tweed-Simmons, her mom and whoever and whatever life throws at them.

“Family Jewels was great but now my mom and I are on this journey of what I want to do with my life,” says Tweed-Simmons, now 21. “And right now it’s struggling with music and acting.”

Talking on the phone from Los Angeles just after auditioning for a Super Bowl commercial, Tweed-Simmons said she expects the show — which is being produced for the W Network by Vancouver’s Force Four Entertainment — will focus on her career, her charity work and her relationship with her mom.
