Freeform Productions is to make a spin-off of property format, A Place In The Sun, Jasmine’s Renovation In The Sun, for Channel 4.
The new 15-part show follows A Place In The Sun presenter, Jasmine Harman as, together with her husband and two young children, she buys and renovates a rundown Spanish Villa. Over the course of the year, the series will follow the highs and lows of the family’s renovation project as they attempt to turn the dilapidated villa into their perfect family home.
Jasmine and husband Jon will learn from the locals, visiting other renovated Spanish properties for inspiration and advice. Planning to do a lot of the building and renovation work themselves, they will also have to master new skills such as plastering and tiling, as well as navigating local bureaucracy and a different pace of life.
Jasmine Harman said, “Moving abroad has been completely different to what I expected and dreamed of. I never wanted to take on a renovation project but somehow, we fell in love with this house. I’ve seen it so many times with my own house hunters – sometimes it just feels right.”
“Moving house can be stressful at the best of times. But, changing country renovating a property, raising our family – all the while having a TV crew following you around, is next level! All the same, we feel like this is the best move for our family and we’re so excited to get started.”
Freeform Productions’ Michelle Heeley said, “Like so many of our House Hunters over the years who have made the move, Jasmine is now doing this for herself. Being able to follow her journey and the highs and lows along the way will be an entertaining watch.”
Channel 4’s Director of Commissioning, Nations and Regions, Jo Street said, “A Place In The Sun has followed the dreams of hundreds of Brits since it launched on Channel 4 in 2000. We are delighted to be following Jasmine’s own journey in this brand new spin off series from Freeform Productions”.,
A Renovation In the Sun and A Place In The Sun were commissioned by Director of Commissioning, Nations and Regions, Jo Street with Commissioning Executive, Barry Agnew. Michelle Heeley is Executive Producer for Freeform Productions.
