ABC Family has ordered drama pilots The Fosters and Twisted (formerly Socio) to series for a summer premiere on the network.

From executive producer Jennifer Lopez, Fosters is about a multiethnic family of foster and biological kids being raised by two moms (Teri Polo and Sherri Saum). The series is created by Bradley Bredeweg and Peter Paige, who will also write and executive produce.

Twisted is a mystery drama centered on a 16-year-old with a troubled past who becomes the prime suspect when a fellow student is found dead. Gavin Polone is executive producer along with David Babcock and Adam Milch.

ABC Family expects to announce additional series pickups later this month.
