Because of the success of the series first season, and as a tribute to Mays' legacy, the show will continue. PITCHMEN, which is produced by Original Productions, a division of Freemantle Media, took viewers behind the curtain into the billion dollar infomercial industry, as Mays and Sullivan helped everyday men and women bring their inventions to the masses. Discovery Channel is developing the format of season two with Mays' son, Billy Mays III, Anthony Sullivan and Thom Beers, CEO of Original Productions. More information will be announced as it becomes available. A premiere date for season two of PITCHMEN hasn't yet been set.
PITCHMAN: A TRIBUTE TO BILLY MAYS, which first premiered on
Discovery Channel on July 9, will re-air Friday, July 24 at 10PM ET/PT.
The special pays tribute to the larger-than-life infomercial pioneer -
the products he launched, the numerous inventors he helped, and how
this family man from Pittsburgh became a household name, ultimately
redefining television ad sales.
