STV Studios secures Auction House spin-off commission from
Really - as well as bumper order for original format
-- Really places 58-episode order with STV
-- Includes two series of The Yorkshire Auction House, two
celebrity series and a new Edinburgh-based spin-off series
STV Studios has received a bumper order from Really for six new
series based on its popular The Yorkshire Auction House format,
including a third and fourth series of The Yorkshire Auction House,
two celebrity series and a brand new spin-off series, The Edinburgh
Auction House.
The Warner Bros. Discovery-owned free-to-air channel has
demonstrated its long-term commitment to the lifestyle format by
commissioning two new 20-episode seasons of The Yorkshire Auction
House; two 5-episode runs of Celebrity Yorkshire Auction House;
plus an 8-episode run of its new Edinburgh-based iteration.
Originally launched in March 2021, The Yorkshire Auction House
follows auctioneer Angus Ashworth as he clears homes on the hunt
for hidden gems to go under the gavel at his Ryedale auction house.
The show was one of Really's best-performing original commissions
of 2021.
The first of two new series of Celebrity Yorkshire Auction House
will air before the end of this year, with stars including Anneka
Rice, Sid Owen and Jennie Bond confirmed to appear.
The Edinburgh Auction House
Launching in early 2023, 8 x 60' spin-off The Edinburgh Auction
House will introduce 5(th) generation auctioneer Sybelle Thomson.
As managing director of Scotland's biggest auction group - founded
by her great-grandfather over 140 years ago - there is no one north
of the border better placed than Sybelle to identify a winning
lot.
Following a similar format to its Yorkshire-based predecessor,
The Edinburgh Auction House will see Sybelle delving through homes
in Scotland in search of the trinkets, trash and treasure she
predicts will deliver the goods at auction.
All series have been ordered by Clare Laycock and commissioned
by Charlotte Reid, with Diccon Green serving as Series Producer and
John Redshaw as Executive Producer.
Craig Hunter, Creative Director of Factual at STV Studios said:
"We knew when we created the format for The Yorkshire Auction House
that, as well as being returnable, it had the potential to grow and
spawn other iterations that would be equally as charming and
engaging.
"We're delighted that Really has such faith in the format to
place a 58-episode order that will keep the Auction House series -
whether it's Yorkshire, Edinburgh or Celebrity - on screens
throughout 2023."
