Before the start of the second season, the successor was announced as Island of Bryan.[13] The Royal Bank of Canada was integrated into the second season, with custom commercials featuring the stars during the commercial breaks, and its products also featuring in the episodes.[14][15] For the second season, Sarah Baeumler increases her role inside the company, becoming a project manager.[8] Season two would also be a 13 episode season filling a 60-minute timeslot.[2] Season 2 became the highest rated specialty entertainment program on HGTV Canada.[16]
