THE LIQUIDATOR,
FROM CANADIAN PRODUCERS ANAÏD PRODUCTIONS,
LAUNCHES ON A+E, FYI NETWORK, IN U.S.
FRIDAY DECEMBER 6, 11:00 PM ET
The King of Deals lands in the US. The ruthless-yet-loveable, outrageous, and larger-than-life character known as the liquidation master Jeff Schwarz, featured on the super-popular series, The Liquidator, has been picked up in the U.S. by A+E’s FYI TV. The irreverent half hour series, which has been broadcast for 4 seasons in Canada and in over 100 countries, will start airing this Friday December 6, at 11:00pm and 11:30pm ET.
Viewers are taken inside Jeff’s unpredictable and unconventional buy-and-sell deals. He has bought and sold his way up the food chain to become the owner of Direct Liquidation — one of the biggest liquidation houses west of the Rockies. Flea market haggler, storage locker trader and pawnshop owner, he’s traded up to become the “Liquidation King”.
He has over 30,000 square feet of warehouse space chock full of ever-changing oddities, household goods and urban artifacts that are going to make him rich. For Jeff, every day is a gamble. Sometimes he wins big. Sometimes he gets swindled. Sometimes the negotiation goes sour. There’s no security in his world except to chase the next deal.
With off-the-wall deals, colourful language and unconventional customers, Jeff flies from one jaw-dropping deal to the next, liquidating some of the most outrageous goods anyone has ever seen. And with each episode the stakes get riskier and more outlandish.
The Liquidator offers a ringside seat to Jeff’s fast paced, high stakes, buy-and-sell world with some of the most outrageous goods anyone has ever seen. From getting the tip and checking out the goods to making the deal and finding a buyer, we see it all…and it isn’t always pretty.
Produced by the female-led powerhouse group at Anaïd Productions is Executive Producers Margaret Mardirossian and Helen Schmidt.
The Liquidator is produced by Anaïd Productions in association with Rogers Media Inc., with the participation of the Canada Media Fund, Rogers Cable Network Fund, Rogers Telefund, and the Province of British Columbia, and with the assistance of the Government of Alberta, Alberta Media Fund, and the Canadian Film or Video Production Tax Credit.
