When Fashion Police returns to E! on Aug. 31, Melissa Rivers will step into the role held by her mother, Joan, up until her death last September.
Rivers, who is already an executive producer of the show, will join panelists Giuliana Rancic and Brad Goreski as well as celebrity guests who will appear on a rotating basis. In a statement released Wednesday, Rivers said she was "very excited" to continue working with "my E! and Fashion Police family." Joan Rivers hosted the show from 2010 until her death, and the program went on hiatus in March following weeks of drama that included Rancic making controversial remarks about actress Zendaya's dreadlocks and the departures of panelists Kelly Osbourne and Kathy Griffin, who joined the show after Joan Rivers' death.
