(CBS) Bristol Palin is getting her own reality TV show, and the new project has a "Dancing with the Stars" twist.

The abstinence advocate and daughter of Sarah Palin is moving in with her "DWTS" co-finalist Kyle Massey for the show, which will air on the BIO Channel.

Entertainment Weekly reports that BIO, formerly the Biography Channel, has ordered 10 half-hour episodes of the as-yet-untitled series that has Palin, 20, moving from Alaska to Los Angeles with her 2-year-old son, Tripp. She will work at a charity while living with Massey, 19, and his brother Chris, 21.

"Bristol is the kind of personality BIO is drawn to," said David McKillop, executive vice president of programming for A&E and the BIO Channel, according to People magazine. "Her personal life has been playing out in the media for several years but this will be the first time she's opening up her real life, with her and son and her friends, the Massey brothers."

The series will air later this year, according to reports.
