Warner Bros Discovery UK & Ireland has announced a new discovery+ true-crime commission The Kim Kardashian Heist (w/t), alongside three new linear series Guz Khan’s Custom Cars (w/t), Zero Stars and Rav Gill’s Chop House.In May 2025, 10 people stood trial in Paris, accused of being involved in the 2016 robbery of one of the world’s most famous reality stars, Kim Kardashian. The 3×60 series The Kim Kardashian Heist, produced by Wall to Wall Media and coming to discovery+ in September, will delve into the chain of events surrounding the robbery, which saw $6 million worth of jewellery stolen during Kardashian’s stay at the exclusive No Address Hotel for Paris Fashion Week. With access to the accused, their defence, the police investigators and exclusive access to the concierge, Abderrahmane Ouatiki, who was held at gunpoint with Kardashian that night, the documentary series follows the French trial and unravels the complex layers of this extraordinary crime. The series were ordered by Graham Lafferty and commissioned by Charlotte Reid for Warner Bros Discovery UK & Ireland.On linear, Quest will welcome a new face to its motoring family early next year with Guz Khan’s Custom Cars. Produced by Ricochet, the 8×60 series will see TV funny man and car enthusiast Guz Khan attempt to modify his own car. To help inspire him, Khan will embark on a journey to discover cars as unconventional as their owners. He will test drive their creations, providing laugh-out-loud moments whilst also learning more about what modifications can do for cars, as he makes his own journey from ‘car purist’ to ‘car modder’.New series Zero Stars will see comedians and BFFs Roisin Conaty and Sara Pascoe journey across the globe – staying, eating and experiencing places with only the funniest and worst reviews in search of a truly unique experience they wouldn’t get from a five-star beach resort. This 8×60 series produced by CPL Productions (original format by Liquidminds and distributed by Primitives) will road test the comic pairings mantra that “one person’s trash is another person’s treasure” and five-star hotels, restaurants and entertainment are for cowards. The series will air in early 2026.Completing the line-up of new commissions, Rav Gill’s Chop House, a 10×30 series for Food Network, sees pastry chef and presenter Ravneet Gill and her husband Mattie take on their biggest challenge yet: opening their first restaurant, entirely self-funded and built from scratch. Produced by Yeti Television and airing in late 2025, the series follows the couple as they juggle renovations, recipe testing, menu writing, and team building, all while trying to stay sane.Viewers can also look forward to a host of returning series; James May is back in his Wiltshire workshop to help fix Britain’s biggest bugbears with simple solutions and ingenious engineering in James May’s Shed Load of Ideas (w/t), coming to Quest in October. In each episode of this 8×60 series produced by Plum Pictures, May will tackle four problems, from everyday annoyances that bother Brits everywhere, to life hacks and repairs.Also returning to Quest is Prospero-produced 20×60 series Outback Opal Hunters, back for its ninth season – and the stakes are high. Opal-rich earth is disappearing at record rates. Crippling government sanctions and a new wave of fortune hunters lay waste to the opal fields. Coveted claims are being fiercely guarded by embattled miners or sold at exorbitant prices. To thrive and expand, the Outback Opal Hunters need to buy and buy big. New claims, new equipment, and new teammates hungry for success are vital to build new opal empires. Strategy, luck and resilience collide in this series coming to screens in 2026.discovery+ will also see the return of Vinnie Jones in the Country, as the hit series returns next year for a third 6×60 season, produced by Objective Entertainment, part of Objective Media Group (an All3Media company).Celebrity Help! My House is Haunted, is also back on discovery+ for its fifth series in November. The 6×60 series, produced by Back2back Productions, features six spooked stars: Nancy Dell’Olio, Gary Numan, Suzanne Shaw, Beverly Callard, Simon Weston and Antony Cotton. The series travels from historic Highland castles to sprawling Italian masserias where the enviable celebrity homes may look idyllic but inside they harbour chilling secrets, as the terrified celebrities experience ghostly apparitions, physical sensations and poltergeist activity.On the Discovery Channel, Mike Brewer and Marc ‘Elvis’ Priestley are also back – hitting the road once again in Wheeler Dealers World Tour, with season 2 airing in October. In this 10×60 show produced by All3Media’s North One and Objective Entertainment (part of Objective Media Group), the pair will travel from the bustling streets of Latin America to the scenic routes of Eastern Europe.Graham Lafferty, SVP Content Strategy and Networks, Warner Bros Discovery UK & Ireland, said: “With all eyes on one of the most intriguing true crime stories in recent years, we’re pleased to work with Wall to Wall on The Kim Kardashian Heist.
