Rust Valley Restorers profiles the unique car restoration community in the “Rust Valley” (Tappen, B.C.) and a shop that stands apart from the rest. Led by the its dreadlocked owner, Mike Hall, and his colourful crew, they transform rusted wrecks into collectible cars. In the second season, Hall makes some changes: his sidekick Avery is now the Rust Brothers shop manager and the two are determined the business will turn a profit this year.

Corus Studios is represented by Rita Carbone Fleury, who oversees the global sales of Corus’ original content slate and brokered this deal.
