Courtney Tezeno to host HGTV's revival of 'Cash in the Attic'

May 19 (UPI) -- HGTV said Wednesday it has green-lit six new episodes of the collectible series Cash in the Attic.

Courtney Tezeno will lead a team of expert appraisers, including Elyse Luray, Jean David Michel and Marvin Jules, "as they sort through homes looking for classic toys, vintage comics, original video games and other valuable pop culture treasures," the cable network said in a news release.

The show is expected to air later this year.

"We expect a wide audience to tune in for Cash in the Attic because they appreciate the nostalgic value of sports memorabilia or Beanie Babies and they may find out that they can turn something that's gathering dust into good money," Jane Latman, HGTV's president, said in a statement.

The original version of the show aired on the BBC 2002-12.
