Storage Wars: Texas

Storage Wars: New York is an American reality television series on A&E. It is a spin-off of Storage Wars. The series follows a group of modern-day storage hunters in an adventurous time finding jewels in storage units across New York.[1] The first season debuted on January 1, 2013,[1] aired with back-to-back half-hour episodes similar to other titles in the series and acquired 2.9 million total viewers.[2] The second season premiered on July 9, 2013, with newest cast member "Big Steve" Valenti.[2]

As of April 2014, the series has not yet been renewed for a third season. Since the airing of the final four Season Two episodes on November 8, 2013, the series has seldom been seen in reruns on A&E, with an announced daytime marathon on January 10, 2014, instead being pre-empted for a Storage Wars: Texas marathon. The series continues to air in other countries, including Canada (on OLN), the UK (on Lifetime TV), Poland (on Canal History) and in South America (on Canal A&E). In the spring of 2014, the show began airing in Africa and Asia, on those territories' History Channels. The show also airs regularly on free streaming service Pluto TV.
