U.S. arts net Ovation TV has bought the U.S. premiere rights to ITV Global Entertainment’s interior design series 60 Minute Makeover.
The 40 x 60-minute series is set to debut Stateside on Ovation TV on March 10, and follows a group of design specialists – including Julia Kendell (pictured) – who have an hour to transform three rooms using quick fixes and cover-ups.
The Granada Television-produced daytime series has aired in the UK since 2004.
“60 Minute Makeover has been a popular daytime series in the UK for some time,” said Scott Woodward, executive VP of programming and production for Ovation TV, in a statement.
“Its high-energy theme of revamping run-down and tired rooms in just an hour, to the surprise and delight of the home-owner, really draws viewers in and provides the kind of artistic inspiration we like to feature on our channel,” he added. “We think U.S. viewers will quickly become addicted to this clever approach to a popular TV show genre.”
