History cannot contain the Shuswap鈥檚 Rust Brothers Restorations team.

Mike Hall, son Connor Hall and Avery Shoaf of the Tappen business and Rust Valley Restorers fame will likely soon see their fan base expand. Their eight-episode History Channel reality television series has been picked up by Netflix in the U.S., and will be available on the streaming service as of Friday, Aug. 23.

Netflix is reported to currently have 151 million subscribers globally.

Season 1 of Rust Valley Restorers aired between Dec. 6, 2018 and Feb. 7, 2019. The idea for the show sparked after Mike put his collection of 400 vehicles, amassed over 40 years, up for sale. The response was a deluge of telephone calls and visits from collectors world over. Among those visitors were the show鈥檚 executive producers, Mayhem Entertainment鈥檚 Matt Shewchuk and Tyson Hepburn, who saw the makings of a series in Mike鈥檚 passion for transforming rusty vehicles into money, Connor鈥檚 business skills and ability to keep things organized, and Avery鈥檚 sense of humour and willingness to stand up to Mike over poor decisions.
