Dr. Brent Ridge and Josh Kilmer-Purcell
of The Fabulous Beekman Boys will return for a third season.
According to The
Hollywood Reporter, the series is moving to The Cooking
Channel.
“We really enjoyed working with the
team at Planet Green and Discovery, but unfortunately
the Planet Green network is leaving the airways and will cease
to exits,” the couple said in a statement. “As a result, The
Fabulous Beekman Boys would have been left without a home.”
“We are grateful to our friends and
fans who have been very supportive and passionate, insisting that the
show return. Networks took note and recognized the value of the show
as a franchise and we are thrilled to inform you that we have found a
new home for the show. We are now officially part of the Scripps
family of networks and will return to television this year on The
Cooking Channel.”
While Planet Green is rebranding
itself as Destination American, USA
Today reported that the show was dropped because of low
ratings.
The show features the couple as they
work to create a self-sustaining organic farm in upstate New York.
Their lifestyle brand Beekman 1802 produced an artisan cheese made
from goat milk, several varieties of goat milk soap and heirloom seed
collections.
The men, who
became engaged in December, are currently planning their wedding
and recently released their first cookbook, The Beekman 1802
Heirloom Cookbook.
