Melissa McCarthy and her cousin and fellow actress, Jenna Perisich, will star in a newly greenlighted discovery+
“When my cousin Jenna and I did Celebrity IOU for her parents, we saw first-hand what a positive impact a home renovation can have,” said Melissa. “In a world where so much emphasis is on the negative, we wanted to show how amazingly kind people can truly be. The Great Giveback will introduce you to some remarkable people who have given so much of themselves to others. We can’t wait to shine the light on them. Also, if I gut another room in my house, Ben will leave me.”
While fans wait for Melissa and Jenna’s new series, they can stream their season one episode of Celebrity IOU on discovery+.
“After we saw how well Melissa worked with her cousin Jenna in an early episode of Celebrity IOU, we had to bring them back for their own renovation series,” said Jane Latman, president, HGTV & Streaming Home Content, Discovery, Inc. “The Great Giveback with Melissa McCarthy and Jenna Perusich will be full of surprises, awesome home transformations and extra laughter and heart.”
The Great Giveback with Melissa McCarthy and Jenna Perusich is produced by Scott Brothers Entertainment, with Drew and Jonathan Scott and Melissa McCarthy as executive producers.
