Paramount+ in Canada just announced the acquisition of Canadian series, COLIN & JUSTIN’S SUB-ZERO RENO, featuring famed Scottish and adopted Canadian designers Colin McAllister and Justin Ryan. Known for their hits HOTEL HELL, CABIN PRESSURE, GREAT CANADIAN COTTAGES (Canada), RENO RUMBLE (Australia) and their Globe and Mail bestselling book âEscapologyâ, the new series follows the couple as they embark on a daunting renovation project in the harshest conditions imaginable – renovating their dream home in HaliburtonâŚduring a Canadian winter â a first for these veteran designers. The six-part series will drop on January 31, 2025 on Paramount+ Canada. A sneak peek of the first two episodes of the series will also be available on Pluto TV in Canada.
Today, we get a new Trailer:
COLIN & JUSTIN’S SUB-ZERO RENO puts Colin and Justin in completely new renovation territory. Having purchased a dilapidated cabin on a picturesque blue lake â beautiful in summer, but harsh in the cold months – the couple have their work cut out for them. They must transform an ugly duckling property (and former storage facility for their many projects) into their dream home amidst the unforgiving Canadian winter, where temperatures plummet to minus 40 degrees Celsius.
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.
“Recently, we tackled our biggest reno ever, deep in the Canadian wilderness, in the heart of winter,â said Colin McAllister and Justin Ryan. âThe 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.â
âWe are excited to bring beloved design duo and honourary Canadians Colin and Justin to Paramount+,â said Vanessa Case, Vice President of Content at Paramount+ and Pluto TV Canada. âRenowned for their incredible renovation work and eccentric personalities, this series takes their talents to a new extreme, set against one of Canadaâs most beautiful wilderness backdrops.â
COLIN & JUSTIN’S SUB-ZERO RENO is produced by Farpoint Films in association with Paramount+ Canada. International distribution is handled by Fred Media (Australia) and Canadian distribution by Farpoint Distribution.
