Toronto, ON | May 18, 2021 — Today at its Upfronts in New York City, Discovery announced six new and returning projects produced by Scott Brothers Entertainment (SBE), producers of Property Brothers: Forever Home and Celebrity IOU.
The slate cements Scott Brothers Entertainment as one of the media conglomerate’s top producing independents, with nearly 75 hours of new content expected to air across multiple Discovery platforms in 2021 and more original programming soon to be announced. SBE creates unscripted content with a focus on cutting-edge storytelling about family, transformation, and design. Drew and Jonathan Scott run the company alongside Josie Crimi, Executive Vice President, Production and Development.
Among the six new and returning shows announced this week, the brothers currently star in two series: Property Brothers: Forever Home, Celebrity IOU. This summer on discovery+, Drew stars alongside legendary car fabricator Ant Anstead in Drew’s Dream Car.
For nearly 10 years, the multi-hyphenate twin TV hosts have been producing content for Discovery and dozens of broadcasters in over 160 countries worldwide, including Corus Entertainment in Canada, Discovery Home and Health in LATAM and Brazil, and Scripps Networks in the United Kingdom. While they’re best known for legacy programming like Property Brothers, the brothers also seek to experiment with other realms that could benefit from change, while pushing audiences to learn more about the world around them.
“Drew and Jonathan are true storytelling visionaries with a strong platform and a major, independent, multi-faceted entertainment and lifestyle business that’s scaling ambitiously, efficiently and thoughtfully,” Crimi said. “Including reruns, they star in over 1000 hours of content annually for HGTV, and they’re the only talent on the network with new episodes of one of their shows airing every week of the year. They also run two multinational companies that produce content and products for families worldwide, and they also develop new talent while shining a light on important social issues—it’s simply beyond comprehension. It’s the ride of a lifetime, and we couldn’t do it without the support of our broadcasting partners!”
