E! gives the Kardashian-star Scott Disick his own home renovating reality show, Flip It Like Disick, set to start in late-2019.


E! (DStv 124) has commissioned a new home renovation reality series, Flip It Like Disick, following the Keeping Up with the Kardashians star Scott Disick and his house renovation and selling business.

The first season of Flip It Like Disick is set to start on E! in late-2019 and will have 8 episodes.

Scott Disick gained fame as an American reality TV star through his on-and-off relationship with Kourtney Kardashian and his alcohol and drinking problems.

E! says Flip It like Disick will bring viewers "inside the lavish personal and professional world of Scott Disick, as he tackles his most extravagant endeavour yet: high-end home flipping and remodelling".

According to E!, the series will follow Scott Disick and his team that includes former pop singer-turned-interior designer Willa Ford; Disick's best friend and business partner Benny Luciano; their all-star short-tempered contractor Miki Moor; and Disick's assistant Lindsay Diamond.

The group will rely on Scott Disick for design as they look to convert home projects for his celebrity friends and family, including guestrooms, studios and his kids' playhouse at their mother Kourtney Kardashian's home, as well as transform an ambitious multi-million dollar property in Los Angeles.

"Scott Disick is funny, unpredictable, and unfiltered," said Amy Introcaso-Davis, the executive vice president of development and production, at E!.

"Fans of Scott on Keeping Up with the Kardashians will get to see another side of him in Flip It Like Disick as an entrepreneur and design guru, leading his talented and opinionated team through difficult design challenges that result in astonishing reveals."

Scott Disick in a press release says "I'm excited to bring fans a new series that shows what I'm really passionate about professionally, which is flipping real estate and doing crazy and impressive renovations on celebrity homes".

"E! has never had a show like this before. It's a bit different than viewers are used to seeing, but I think they will be both entertained and inspired by my team."

Flip It Like Disick is produced by STXtelevision with Tower 2 Productions and Ryan Seacrest Productions, with Ryan Holcomb, Jason Goldberg, Lori Gordon, Scott Disick and Kris Jenner as executive producers.

E! Entertainment revives its docu-series, E! True Hollywood Story; adds new late night talker, Busy Tonight, with Busy Philipps.


E! Entertainment (DStv 124) is reviving and rebooting its iconic docu-series, E! True Hollywood Story, and will be trying again to establish a late night talk show, this time with Busy Philipps entitled Busy Tonight.

In a statement E! says is will relaunch a revamped E! True Hollywood Story this year, "with a fresh approach and new episodes that dive deep into the most compelling personalities and stories that are shaping headlines".

The E! True Hollywood Story launched in 1996 as an hour-long TV special examining the murder of the actress and model Rebecca Schaeffer.

It proved so popular that E! turned it into a series, giving viewers a broad overview of the rise and fall and rise of actors, celebrities and models, iconic TV shows, as well as Hollywood scandals.

The show ran for almost a decade until 2006, giving viewers a look-back, back-window view on everything from the drama behind the scenes at Melrose Place to the tragic lives of Hollywood's child stars and what happened to them like Lindsay Lohan and Macauley Culkin, and singers like the Backstreet Boys and Britney Spears.

Amy Introcaso-Davis, the executive vice president of production and development at E! says E! True Hollywood Story is "a beloved franchise that has never been more timely and relevant" and that the revamped series will take a "modern approach" to bringing viewers up to date with facts and stories about Hollywood topics they don't know.

"Each self-contained documentary will explore a topic, headline, or person that became the ground zero for a revolution, change or shift in culture, told by the people who were on the front lines of the story," says E! - a clear indication that something like Hollywood's #MeToo movement about sexual abuse and sexual harassment will very likely be one of the new episodes.

E! True Hollywood Story is produced by Wilshire Studios.

Besides E! True Hollywood Story, E! is also making a third attempt to establish a late night talk show after the failures of Hello Ross with Ross Mathews and Chelsea Handler's Chelsea Lately, this time with Busy Philipps who will be doing Busy Tonight.

Busy Tonight will feature comedic commentary, interviews, and segments that go behind her most popular Instagram stories. "Unfiltered, in-the-know and always entertaining, Busy will give us her unique and hilarious point of view on literally everything," says E!.

"E! is a pop culture network that is for and about women, and these series hit the mark when it comes to fun, aspirational content and engaging storytelling for our audience," says Amy Introcaso-Davis.
