Channel 4 commissions The Antiques Riviera
Channel 4 has commissioned a six-part antiques series called The Antiques Riviera, and it will air on More4 in 2026.
Channel 4 announces new antiques series for More4.
The Antiques Riviera - which will air in 2026 - whisks viewers to the stunning Devon coastline to discover what fortunes can be made for Brits with treasure to cash in.
Deborah Dunnett, Commissioning Editor, Channel 4, commented: "Who wouldn’t want to escape to the Antiques Riviera? A glorious backdrop, brilliantly British characters, money to be made and really heartfelt stories.
"We know our More4 audience is going to love this series."
The six-part series - produced by STV Studios Factual, the creators behind BBC's Antiques Road Trip - follows a colourful cast of expert traders and local dealers.
Each hour-long episode will welcome a new seller who is looking to turn their items into cash.
By offering their heirlooms and antiques to dealers up and down the Devon coastline, the sellers hope they’ll leave with as much money as possible to fund their dreams – whether that is a once-in-a-lifetime holiday, deposit for their first home, or even their wedding.
On hand will be The Antiques Riviera's dealers, who will reveal their tips and tricks to finding hidden valuables that could end up making a life-changing profit.
Craig Hunter, Creative Director, STV Studios Factual, said: "Inspired by the real-world buzzing antiques trade in this corner of the UK, I’m thrilled that we are able to reimagine the antiques genre for the More4 audience.
"This commission is a strong vote of confidence in our expertise from the Nations and Regions, and I can’t wait for viewers to escape to this sunny new format.”
