New York [June 27, 2018] Real estate and house flipping expert Christina El Moussa, best known from HGTV's hit series Flip or Flop, has signed a deal for a new original series with the network. The eight-episode series titled Christina on the Coast will showcase Christina as she expands her design business in Southern California. In the series, Christina will transform clients' outdated properties into high-end showplaces. It also will put the spotlight on her personal journey after her split with husband Tarek. As Christina searches for the perfect new home to start afresh while balancing parenthood, career and a new relationship, cameras will follow her. Christina on the Coast is set to premiere in 1Q 2019.

"Design is my favorite part of the house-flipping process and I can't wait to be able to now work directly with clients and create a space they've always dreamed of having," said Christina.

"Christina's design style is very popular, so it's a natural progression for us to expand her visibility with a new series," said Allison Page, president, HGTV and Food Network. "Her fans also are deeply vested in her personal life and eager to see 'what happens next' - so we're bringing them the opportunity to share in these real-life moments in a way that no one else can."

Tarek El Moussa is also in discussions to develop a potential new series with HGTV.
