HGTV CANADA'S RECORD BREAKING SERIES ISLAND OF BRYAN RETURNS FOR A HOTLY ANTICIPATED SECOND SEASON ON FEBRUARY 23 AT 10 P.M. ET/PT

After breaking Corus Entertainment Inc.'s HGTV Canada ratings records this past spring to become the network's most watched series of the past 10 years, the No. 1 specialty Canadian original program, Island of Bryan (eight episodes by 60 minutes), returns for its second season on Sunday, Feb. 23, 2020, at 10 p.m. ET/PT. The new season will continue Bryan and Sarah Baeumler's family adventure in the Bahamas, as they race to put the finishing touches on their beach front resort, after a roller coaster year of construction. Viewers can catch up with a season 1 marathon on HGTV Canada in the lead up to the premiere, beginning at 12 p.m. ET/PT on Feb. 23.

Season 1 captivated viewers generating a 9-per-cent increase in audience growth from the premiere episode to the finale. The success has continued on-line, with a show reveal gallery receiving more than 3.2 million page views to date, while the top 15 most-viewed videos on HGTV belong to the series.

With the budget maxed out and more at stake than ever, season 2 will see Mr. Baeumler and Mrs. Baeumler tackle the seemingly impossible task of transforming the Caerula Mar Club into their spectacular vision. It is a race against time to complete the clubhouse, spa and hotel block with the grand opening date set -- but when tragedy strikes the Bahamas impacting the progress, Mr. Baeumler and Mrs. Baeumler launch a fundraising effort to support the communities affected by Hurricane Dorian. Giving viewers an all-access pass to step-by-step renovations and designs, this season will see big reveals, behind-the-scenes chaos as they hire and train their large hospitality team and capture memorable family moments when it comes to crunch time for the resort's opening day.

Island of Bryan is produced by Si Entertainment in association with Corus Entertainment's HGTV Canada. Corus Entertainment's original content team driving its slate of unscripted series is helmed by industry executive Lisa Godfrey as vice-president of original content and supported by Krista Look (director of lifestyle) and Marni Goldman (production executive). Island of Bryan is sponsored in part by Royal Bank of Canada.
