Discovery has commissioned Wheeler Dealers: Dream Car, with Mike Brewer serving as the series’ host.

A spin-off of the successful betty-produced Wheeler Dealers franchise, Wheeler Dealers: Dream Car will see Brewer helping car lovers trade in the vehicles they don’t want and upgrade to the rides of their dreams. In each episode, Brewer and mechanic Marc “Elvis” Priestley team up to help a client add value to their unwanted car, reinvest, make deals and trade up to get their dream car.

Discovery will commission, produce and distribute Wheeler Dealers: Dream Car across the globe. The series will air on Discovery Channel in several markets, including the U.K., Netherlands, South Africa and France; MotorTrend App and MotorTrend TV in the U.S; and across EMEA on channels such as DMAX in Italy and Germany and Metro in Poland.

Simon Downing, senior VP and head of factual and sport for Discovery in the U.K., said: “We’re delighted to welcome Wheeler Dealers: Dream Car to Discovery’s growing motoring lineup. Wheeler Dealers is one of our most popular franchises, with a huge fanbase around the world who is eager for more hours and new spin-offs. This show delivers all the smart deals and mechanical upgrades of Wheeler Dealers, with a new element where Mike ‘gives back’ to car lovers, helping them win the car of their dreams.”
