Discovery Orders Three Shows for HGTV

Discovery has commissioned My Mortgage Free Home, My Dream Derelict Home in the Sun and Quick Little Builds for its HGTV brand.

From Raise the Roof Productions, the Amanda Lamb-fronted My Mortgage Free Home sees the property manager meet families who want to change their lives by moving to a mortgage-free house. In Quick Little Builds, another Raise the Roof production, Gabrielle Omar discovers what motivates families to pick their dream building project, taking a close look at their plans and offering advice. My Dream Derelict Home in the Sun, produced by True North, follows Scarlette Douglas as she helps Brits find their dream home abroad.

Sarah Beeny’s Renovate Don’t Relocate, produced by Outline Productions, also returns with 15 more hour-long episodes.

Clare Laycock, senior VP and head of lifestyle and entertainment brands at Discovery UK and Ireland, said: “Since rebranding Home to HGTV earlier this year, we’ve combined the best British and American home and property shows to inspire viewers to transform their homes. It’s been an exciting six months for the channel with huge gains in audience share fuelled by top-performing local commissions like Sarah Beeny’s Renovate Don’t Relocate. On the back of this success, I’m delighted to announce these new commissions and welcome Amanda Lamb, Scarlette Douglas and Gabrielle Omar to HGTV.”
