TORONTO – Corus Entertainment last week announced HGTV Canada has added three new Corus Studios original series to its slate – Trading Up with Mandy Rennehan (pictured above left), Styled (centre) and Hoarder House Flippers (right).
Trading Up with Mandy Rennehan (10×60), which will premier Thursday May 12 at 10 p.m. ET/PT, stars Mandy Rennehan (above left), “a highly successful entrepreneur, celebrated builder, sought-after public speaker, and champion of the trades industry,” a press release explains.
Throughout the series, Rennehan renovates properties in her hometown Yarmouth, Nova Scotia.
“These real estate resale projects are not only investments, they’re an opportunity for Mandy to mentor three trade apprentices – giving them the tools to develop their own successful careers. Full of heart, humour, and ‘Mandy-esque’ East Coast flair, Trading Up with Mandy Rennehan is a celebration of hard work and meaningful leadership,” a description in the press release says.
The series is produced by Scott Brothers Entertainment. Drew Scott, Jonathan Scott, Bree Tiffin and Josie Crimi are executive producers, Jessica Vander Kooij is series producer and Debbie Brown is the HGTV Canada executive in charge of production.
Styled (8×60) will premiere May 17 at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT. The series features style experts Nicole Babb and Caffery Vanhorne who “bring their fashion-forward taste to home design,” the press release says.
“Whether adding value to a property before it hits the market or turning a house into a forever home, the design duo stage and renovate spaces big and small. With the help of Nicole’s family-run design firm and a team of contractors, they bring their vision to life and transform each project from drab to fab. The premiere episode has Nicole and Caffery helping to convert childhood memories into a grown-up dream home, then introduce the power of staging to a new realtor client.”
The series is produced by Great Pacific Media. David Way is executive producer, Dana Johl is producer and Dora Fong is the HGTV Canada executive in charge of production.
Hoarder House Flippers (6×60) premiers Thursday May 9 at 8 p.m. ET/PT.
“Seeing potential property value covered by years of clutter, trash, and neglect, these intrepid flippers turn dilapidated properties into desirable homes. Each episode is helmed by one of three sets of renovators, hailing from Ontario, Quebec and Manitoba – each with their own unique style and personality,” the press release explains.
“The series premiere features Ontario couple Ryan and Kiki trimming back the mess of an overgrown ranch-style house; followed by Quebec brothers Mactar, Issa, and Khadim in the second episode, who discover their cheap flip is going to cost big bucks; then Manitoba’s Heather and Nathan transform their newly purchased eyesore in the third episode.”
Hoarder House Flippers is produced by Anaïd Productions. Jennifer Little, Margaret Mardirossian, Sophie Morgadinho and Helen Schmidt are executive producers, Suzy Choueiri is showrunner and Brown is the HGTV Canada executive in charge of production.
