TORONTO, Aug. 23, 2019 /CNW/ - Committed to developing unique content for a global audience, Corus Studios, a division of Corus Entertainment, announced today that Rust Valley Restorers (8x60), will be available worldwide on Netflix on August 23. The series is among the slate of original programming developed by Corus Studios for HISTORY®, representing a strategic move by Corus Studios to complement its robust slate of Lifestyle series by investing further in factual programming.

"Corus Studios continues to expand its portfolio, building on our successful roster of Lifestyle programming by developing dynamic and original factual series like Rust Valley Restorers," said Lisa Godfrey, Vice President of Original Content, Corus Entertainment. "This deal with Netflix underscores the success of that strategy and strength of Corus Studios as both a creative content partner and distributor."

Based in the foothills of the Canada's Rocky Mountains, Rust Valley Restorers profiles the unique car restoration community in the "Rust Valley" and a restoration shop that stands apart from the rest. Led by the shops easily identifiable dreadlocked owner, Mike Hall and his colourful crew transform rusted wrecks into collectible cars. Together they passionately work to return cars to their former glory – sometimes for trade, sometimes for sale, and not always at a profit.

Rust Valley Restorers is produced by Mayhem Entertainment in association with Corus Studios for HISTORY. Corus Studios is represented by Rita Carbone Fleury, who oversees the global sales of Corus' original content slate and brokered this deal.
