Caitlyn Jenner is transitioning to another year of her E! docu-reality show.

Cable network E! announced Thursday that it’s picking up the second season of “I Am Cait,” the nonfiction series that examines Jenner’s new life as a transgender woman.

Season 2 is slated to start in 2016, the network said.

“I’m looking forward to continuing the conversation,” Jenner said in a statement.

The renewal caps a breakout year for Jenner, who rose to fame four decades ago as Olympic gold medalist Bruce Jenner. In April, she opened up about her transition in a ratings-grabbing interview with ABC’s Diane Sawyer. A July Vanity Fair cover story revealed her new name and other details.

“Cait” has delivered strong ratings, although not as high as those for “Keeping Up With the Kardashians,” the E! reality show in which Jenner appeared as the nonplussed stepdad.

The July premiere of “Cait” drew 2.7 million total viewers, according to Nielsen. But subsequent episodes drew only about half that figure.
