The Property Brothers, Jonathan and Drew Scott, are officially getting a three-year long broadcasting deal with HGTV.
The talent pact will see the pair continue to further produce more episodes for Property Borthers: Forever Home and Celebrity IOU. Under their Scott Brothers Entertainment banner the two will also continue to develop more real estate tv series alongside Warner Bros. Discovery.
“Our long and successful collaboration with Drew and Jonathan is largely built on their endless creativity reserves and their ability to establish deep connections with audiences,” stated Kathleen Finch, Warner Bros. Discovery’s chairman. “These are stars who consistently attract and engage fans, no matter the platform, so this new agreement ensures that together we can continue to develop more fun, innovative content that will excite viewers for years to come.”
The pair had begun to receive offers from other media studios as their original deal with HGTV began to come to a closing, however they decided to stick with the channel.
“We’ve been working for so long now with HGTV and also Warner Bros. Discovery and it was a no-brainer for us,” Jonathan Scott told Variety magazine. “We were definitely wooed by many other major players and some of them who really, really wanted our brand on their platform. And it just feels right with HGTV because we’ve been a family. It’s not even just that it’s a job for us and a workplace. The relationship we have, it’s a symbiotic relationship where we develop the shows and we listen to the fans. We’re engaging directly with the fans with over half a million messages a week, each, from our fans, so we know what they want and the network has always been up to that with us.”
“The thing that’s exciting for us is David Zaslav is heading this charge, and Kathleen Finch, who we’ve had the longest-running, standing relationship with, is amazing with transforming and growing a brand,” said Drew Scott during the interview. “They are the powerhouse that are continuing to grow Warner Bros. Discovery. And I think, along with everybody else, the executive team is an amazing team. And acting and scripted is my passion and they have that side of things, plus all of their lifestyle and unscripted and everything we’ve been doing already.”
“There was no reservations. I just thought this was creating more opportunity to inspire people. Maybe I’ll be in the next ‘Game of Thrones’ series, the new ‘House of the Dragon!’”
