Mythbusters stars sign new deal with Discovery Channel

Mythbusters stars Jamie Hyneman and Adam Savage have penned a new agreement with Discovery Channel, as the duo is set to co-executive produce their show as well as create new programs.
Hyneman and Savage set up their own production company and will team with BermanBraun to develop additional television series with Discovery Channel, the network announced in a press release.
“We’re excited not only to continue on the MythBusters series for Discovery, but also to expand our reach into additional opportunities in television, the Internet, touring, video games and more,” said Hyneman.
“We could not have accomplished this escalation without the dedicated efforts of our entire team, and we’re also extremely grateful to Discovery for their continuing expressions of confidence.”
Discovery Channel president Clark Bunting added: “Adam and Jamie infuse science with their special brand of humor, tenacity and passion. Now that they are taking on co-executive producer roles, viewers are guaranteed to see even more of their smart and engaging personalities throughout the new shows.”
Mythbusters is Discovery Channel’s longest-running series and airs on Wednesdays at 9pm ET.
