First look: Bristol Palin and three-year-old son in promotional photograph for new reality show Life's a Tripp

Her reality show promised to feature 'a daughter, a mother and a young woman making her way in the world,' when it was announced earlier this year.

And, judging by a new promotional photograph, Bristol Palin's cute-as-a-button son Tripp will also be playing a major part in the forthcoming Lifetime programme, entitled 'Life's A Tripp.

The picture features the smiling daughter of Sarah Palin crouching down next to the blonde three-year-old who is equally cheery.

The show will chronicle Bristol and Tripp's journey from her hometown in Wasilla, Alaska to Los Angeles, where they move after Bristol lands a job with a non-profit organisation.

'I was game for it,' the 21-year-old tells TV Guide. 'I wanted to show how down-to-earth my family and I are.'

Initially, Bristol was due to star in a show with her Dancing with the Stars friend Kyle Massey and his actor brother, Chris, but the show failed to materialise.

And then Bristol's parents Sarah and Todd were 'sceptical' about Bristol appearing in her own show.

L.A.T.

Bristol Palin is following in her mother's footsteps, starring in her own reality show.

The daughter of former Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin will be the focus of "Bristol Palin: Life's a Tripp," a Lifetime docuseries that the network says will offer "an exclusive, rare glimpse into Bristol Palin's real life as a young single mother forging her own way into the world while living under the constant spotlight as a member of one of America's most high-profile families."

A Lifetime release said that the show will feature "never-before-granted access to Bristol's real-life experiences growing into womanhood," and will show her adjusting to life in Alaska, as she raises her toddler Tripp and deals with her family. "Steadfastly moving forward both personally and professionally, Bristol will be confronted by the many difficult life decisions people must make regarding parenthood, family, relationships and career."

Ten half-hour episodes have been ordered. No air date has yet been announced.

The Lifetime series will be the second reality show involving Palin. A previous Bio Channel series, in which she moved to Los Angeles with her son to live with fellow "Dancing With the Stars" contestant Kyle Massey, never aired. The series was to have shown Palin working at a small charity.
