Fox Broadcasting has given the green light for a new antiques reality show starring celebrity antique dealers Leigh and Leslie Keno.
With the new series, titled "Buried Treasure," the Keno brothers, who designed a furniture collection for Theodore Alexander and are best known from PBS' long-running Antiques Roadshow, will travel the country hunting for hidden gems in peoples' homes.
Using their expertise and technology to determine authenticity and condition, the duo will reveal each item's estimated auction value and gives the family a chance to sell. In some instances, the Kenos will bring the items to top antiques buyers. At the end of each episode, viewers will learn if the item sold and for how much.
"Right now, a lot of people in America need cash, and were helping them find it in their own homes," said Joe Livecchi, series co-creator and executive producer. "We're transforming lives with every treasure we find."
ITV America will produce the show, which will likely launch later this summer, with Livecchi, Paul Buccieri, Tim Miller, the Kenos and Tim Eagan as executive producers.
"We're thrilled to be in partnership with Fox and the Keno Brothers on this exciting new project," said Paul Buccieri, president and CEO, ITV Studios America. "We have had an incredible working relationship with Fox, and look forward to expanding with this initiative."
