New York-based production company and distributor BIG Media announced Monday it has signed licensing deals for multiple series with Corus Entertainment and Bell Media.

Corus has picked up Season 3 of Renovation Hunters (10 episodes x 30 minutes) and the upcoming Season 4, which is currently in production. The third season is currently airing on Corus’s Home Network. Hosted by hunter and outdoorsman Hal Shaffer, Renovation Hunters features a talented crew of renovation experts from across the U.S. as they bring their passion for craftsmanship and the outdoor lifestyle to transform family camps in just one week.

Bell Media has licensed the first and third seasons of BIG Media’s global format Destruction Decoded (14 episodes x 60 minutes) and Season 1 of the spin-off series Danger Decoded (10 x 60). Both co-produced with France’s RMC Story, Destruction Decoded explores life-altering, earth-shattering events using a combination of archive footage, cutting-edge CGI and informative scripting, while Danger Decoded takes viewers on a quest to discover some of the world’s most dangerous places.

In addition, Bell Media has acquired the newest season (Season 14) of the popular crime/ride-along series Wardens (13 x 30), which chronicles the lives of conservation officers in the U.S. The show follows the men and women who protect public lands as they go from interstate game checks and anti-poaching sting operations to remote snowmobile trails in grizzly bear country and navigating treacherous whitewater rapids. Wardens will air on Bell Media’s CTV Wild channel.
