Fox Business Network is developing an original alternative primetime program titled “Strange Inheritance” that will debut in summer 2014.
Hosted by Fox Business Network’s Tracy Byrnes, the show will take a closer look at real-life stories of unconventional inheritances.
“A venture like Strange Inheritance helps us diversify our primetime programming,” said Kevin Magee, executive vice president of the network, in a statement. :Its eccentric premise is a compelling option for a business audience after hours.”
The half-hour show is being produced by Jonathan Towers, founder and senior executive producer of Towers Productions, LLC. Towers has worked on a number of prominent reality-based series, including: A&E’s American Justice, National Geographic’s Inside 9/11 and History Channel’s Gangland. Strange Inheritance goes into production in late February.
Brian Gaffney, currently an executive producer with Fox News Channel’s documentary unit, has been promoted to director of special programming for Fox Business Network and will manage the production of “Strange Inheritance.”
Gaffney has been with Fox News since 2002 and has overseen production on more than 90 documentaries and specials for the network.
