Serial Maven Studios has acquired the worldwide distribution rights to “The County” (10×60’), a new premium lifestyle and design series produced by RTR Media. Originally commissioned for HGTV in Canada, the title will be introduced to international buyers as part of Serial Maven’s expanding unscripted catalog
The series follows interior designer Sarah Keenleyside as she leaves city life to establish her design firm and restore an 1860s Victorian farmhouse in Prince Edward County, Ontario. The narrative combines home restoration and design transformations with local storytelling across the region’s arts and cultural landscape
“’The County’ is exactly the kind of talent-led, premium lifestyle series we’re building our distribution catalogue around,”stated Solange Attwood, CEO and founder of Serial Maven Studios. “It’s a beautifully produced, returnable format with a strong central voice and a sense of place that travels. Adding it strengthens our growing slate and gives international buyers a polished, aspirational title with clear global appeal.”
Jenna Keane, Chief Creative Officer and Partner at RTR Media, added: “Sarah Keenleyside brings an effortless joy to the screen and fresh ideas to the design enthusiast. We’re thrilled to introduce the world to one of Canada’s hidden treasures, Prince Edward County, and take full responsibility that you’re going to want to move after watching this.”
“The County” is scheduled to premiere on HGTV in Canada in 2026, with Serial Maven Studios handling all global sales outside the local broadcast window
