News brief: Animal Planet orders Alaskan Gold Diggers

Discovery’s Animal Planet has ordered Alaskan Gold Diggers, a six-part about a California mum and her four daughters who inherit a gold mine and attempt to revitalise the family business.

The six-part series will be produced by US reality TV specialist T Group (Storage Hunters).

“It’s more than just a fish-out-of-water story – these women have grit and gumption, and will stop at nothing until they realize their father and grandfather’s dream of striking it rich in one of the harshest terrains on the planet,” said Jenny Daly, President of T Group Productions.
