HGTV has ordered 96 new episodes of its beach-lifestyle series, including “Beachfront Bargain Hunt.” “Mexico Life” (pictured above), “Caribbean Life” and “Beach Hunters” also earn renewals.
The Scripps cable channel, soon to be under the Discovery umbrella, will premiere three new hours of beach programming every Sunday night for the next year.
“For months, HGTV’s beach programming has delivered consistent gains in viewership, so keeping our pipeline filled with fresh episodes in this genre is a solid programming strategy for the foreseeable future,” said Allison Page, general manager, U.S. programming and development for HGTV, DIY Network, Food Network, Cooking Channel, Travel Channel and Great American Country.
The new episodes of HGTV’s popular “Beachfront Bargain Hunt” kick off on Sept. 29.
