Discovery Bringing Back Pitchmen With Billy Mays III

Discovery Channel’s Pitchmen, the 12-part series that featured the late Billy Mays Jr and his business partner, Anthony ‘Sully’ Sullivan, will be back for a second season. Because of the success of the series first season, and as a tribute to Mays’ legacy, the show will continue. Pitchmen 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 has not yet been set.

Pitchmen: A Tribute To Billy Mays, which first premiered on Discovery Channel on July 9, will re-air Friday, July 24 at 10:00 PM/ET. 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.
