'Cousins on Call' Get New 'Undercover' HGTV Deal

Wyckoff, Franklin Lakes cousins' new show slated to air in October.

The local stars of a breakout cable TV series will have another series by the end of the year, according to HGTV officials.

John Colaneri and Anthony Carrino, the eponymous cousins of Kitchen Cousins and Cousins on Call, Monday got the green light from the home improvement network for a new show called Undercover Overhaul.

The cousins — from Wyckoff and Franklin Lakes respectfully — are currently in production of six one-hour episodes for a show that will feature them completely reinventing "outdated, dysfunctional spaces, and surprising neighborhood heroes with stunning renovations," according to an HGTV statement.
