Discovery Inc. is making good on HGTV’s $3.5 million investment in the Brady Bunch house. Ahead of September's launch of A Very Brady Renovation, sister networks Food Network and Discovery will air programming tied to the series and featuring appearances by Brady Bunch cast-members.

All six Brady castmembers — Barry Williams (Greg), Maureen McCormick (Marcia), Christopher Knight (Peter), Eve Plumb (Jan), Mike Lookinland (Bobby), Susan Olsen (Cindy) — will now appear in a variety of Discovery portfolio series, with Brady-inspired episodes of Fast N’ Loud, Chopped, Worst Cooks in America, The Kitchen and The Pioneer Woman.

“They became the biggest fans of the project. They were totally hands-on with the renovation and a lot of the design decisions were led by them,” says Kathleen Finch, chief lifestyle brand officer, Discovery Inc. “They’ve been the best partners we could hope for and they are game for anything.”

Though the series itself is a short order, other Brady-related initiatives are already planned in anticipation of the premiere and a HGTV-Food partnership on a Christmas special is planned for the end of 2019.
