Casting call for 'Child Genius' season two

The television program, Child Genius, returns for a second season on the Lifetime Network. Some of the brightest young minds will vie for a sizable contribution toward their educational future. Mensa will work as a consultative source with the production company, Shed Media.

We are looking forward to another successful season of Child Genius," said John Hesling, Senior Vice President of Shed Media. "Mensa really helps provide perspective to viewers on the competition as well as the participants' experience."

Lisa Van Gemert, American Mensa's Youth and Education Ambassador and Child Genius guest commentator said, "While all non-scripted television is going to have its controversy or no one will watch it, what Child Genius did was to show that kids want time with parents, even if it's time studying, and that learning how to handle disappointment is a universal development stage. Seeing the kids learn to comfort and encourage each other as the season progressed was rewarding and a lesson to adults."
