Corus Studios has secured its largest U.S. output deal ever, consisting of more than 400 episodes of lifestyle, renovation, unscripted and crime content, with Hulu.

The multiyear agreement builds on Corus Studios and Hulu’s partnership, which began with the sale of more than 200 episodes last year. The expanded partnership includes the U.S. presale of Pamela’s Garden of Eden, a new series that sees Pamela Anderson renovate her family home.

Other titles from the home and renovation genre included in the deal are Gut Job, Hoarder House Flippers, Styled, Trading Up with Mandy Rennehan, Making it Home with Kortney and Kenny, Rock Solid Builds and additional seasons of Farmhouse Facelift. Hulu will also become the SVOD home of Buying the View.

In the culinary and food competition genre, Hulu has picked up Cheese: A Love Story, Wall of Bakers and Baker Sisters, as well as additional seasons of Big Food Bucket, Project Bakeover and Wall of Chefs.

Hulu also secured all three seasons of Corus’ Global News-produced series Crime Beat, based on the podcast of the same name.

Deadman’s Curse, Lost Car Rescue and Backroad Truckers were also acquired.

“Building on our valued partnership with Hulu, this agreement marks Corus Studios’ largest U.S. market distribution deal to date,” said Lisa Godfrey, senior VP of original content at Corus Studios. “Corus Studios is known for its premium storytelling, and this output arrangement illustrates how our compelling slate of content across key genres is gaining significant traction in the highly competitive U.S. market.”
