Fans of the ABC Family's "The Fosters" can now breathe a sigh of relief as the series is all-set to return for its second installment in 2015. Spoilers reveal of reprised roles and maturing characters that fans will see for the upcoming season.

According to Fashion & Style, one of the stars who will be reprising her role is Rosie O'Donnell who played the role of Rita in the first season. The actress confirmed the news to TV Guide as the site reported.

"I'm doing three episodes in the second half of this season. ABC has been very nice in allowing me the time to go do that. When I took this job, I made sure I could still do The Fosters because I like being recognized by 12-year-olds at the mall. They call me [my character's name] Rita, but still I don't mind," O'Donnell shared.

Meanwhile, fans will also get to see Jake T. Austin reprises his role as Jesus. According to Enstarz, Austin revealed in an interview with Perez Hilton that Jesus' love life will help the character grow up and mature.

"Jesus- my character on The Fosters- has had love interests kind of play his maturity and part of him growing up and discovering who he is as a man, and just trying to find that place. But it's been great to be able to work with so many talented actresses on The Fosters like Bianca Santos and some of the other actresses who I think will blossom into huge careers," said the young actor.

He also shared about his thoughts on the relationships presented on the show.

"One of the most important relationships in the show is Brallie- Brandon and Callie. For me, my character, my most valued relationship, is my relationship with Emma and I think the chemistry that they share is something that you can see on screen," shared Austin.

"The Fosters" is said to return on televisions screens in early 2015.
