Identical quads from Buffalo, Minn., are the teenage stars of a reality television show that premieres next month.

Lifetime's "Quad Squad" will follow 17-year-old sisters Calli, Kendra, Megan and Sarah Durst during their senior year at Buffalo High School. Shooting of the show began in October.

The first of eight-one hour episodes airs Feb. 9 (one day before their 18th birthday) at 8 p.m. CST. The network said the show will "document the fun and pressures associated with each quadruplet's experience juggling adolescence, including boys, school, homework, sports, gossip and what lies ahead for them, their older brother, Travis, and their single mother, Naomi."

The sisters also weigh their college decisions, opening the possibility of living apart for the first time.

Naomi Durst beat the odds of one in 700,000 by having quadruplets without using fertility drugs. They were born prematurely on Feb. 10, 1993, at North Memorial Medical Center in Robbinsdale.
