Animal Planet To Dive Into A Second Season Of Splashy Aquarium Series "TANKED"

Successful Summer Series Gets Greenlight for 10-Episode Sophomore Season in 2012; Wayde King and Brett Raymer to Return with Bigger Builds, Jaw-Dropping Tanks and Fishy Fun

After six episodes following the frenzied drama and incredible aquarium builds of Wayde King and Brett Raymer's family business, Animal Planet has ordered a second season of the series TANKED, adding ten brand-new episodes that will premiere in Spring 2012.  Casting for the second season is also currently in progress.  The inaugural season of TANKED delivered 789,000 P2+ viewers, and the finale delivered nearly one million P2+ viewers (955,000).

The wet and wonderful world of TANKED introduces viewers to some of the most amazing and creative tank and aquariums builds for top celebrities, luxury hotels, Fortune 500 businesses, private homes and millionaire homeowners, and are filled with some of the most extraordinary aquatic wildlife from around the globe.  The larger-than-life duo of Wayde and Brett are business partners, brothers-in-law, best friends, pranksters and constant rivals who are determined to create, build, and unveil some of the most over-the-top aquariums the world has ever seen.

But it's not just about the boys - it's a family affair, because they're joined by Heather, Wayde's wife and Brett's sister; Brett and Heather's father, "The General;" and a motley crew of designers, engineers, installers, cleaners and builders - making them one big dysfunctional, brash and super-sized family.

TANKED is produced for Animal Planet by Nancy Glass Productions.  Nancy Glass and Eric Neuhaus are the executive producers for Nancy Glass Productions, and Melinda Toporoff is the executive producer for Animal Planet.  TANKED was developed by Animal Planet's Charlie Foley.
