Honourary Highlanders, Colin McAllister and Justin Ryan, will be sharing the story of a winter renovation they did on Drag Lake when Paramount+ debuts Colin & Justin’s Sub-Zero Reno starting Jan. 31.
According to Farpoint Films, the series showcases “the relentless pursuit of perfection as the designers face numerous obstacles, including blizzards, dangerous roads, and a rapidly ticking clock.
“From fraught deliveries and icy conditions to the custom designs required for the new space, every step of the renovation is pressure-filled. But the two are no stranger to adversity and are determined to overcome delays, unpredictable weather and their own demanding personalities.”
Known for Hotel Hell, Cabin Pressure, Great Canadian Cottages, Reno Rumble (Australia) and their Globe and Mail book Escapology, the new series follows the couple as they embark on renovating their dream home in Haliburton during winter; a first for the veteran designers.
It is a six-part series following their purchase of a dilapidated cabin.
McAllister and Ryan said, “the challenge nearly destroyed us physically, emotionally, and financially. As temperatures plummeted, it seemed like everything that could have gone wrong did go wrong, but we had a dream of turning this cottage into the home of our dreams.”
Vanessa Case, vice president of content at Paramount+ and Pluto TV Canada added, “we are excited to bring beloved design duo and honourary Canadians Colin and Justin to Paramount+.
“Renowned for their incredible renovation work and eccentric personalities, this series takes their talents to a new extreme, set against one of Canada’s most beautiful wilderness backdrops.”
