WESTPORT — Season 2 of the Emmy-nominated series “Life On Mar’s: The Home Makeover Show,” will be available on Amazon Prime Video’s global streaming video service beginning in April 2019.

Created and hosted by Mar Jennings, frequently referred to as America’s Top Lifestyle Expert, it is the first home makeover series filmed in Connecticu­t.

This second season has a twist: it tracks the renovation and restoratio­n of all the homes on Mar’s very own charming street in downtown Westport — including his own.

Episodes follow Jennings’ design direction, humor and signature method while highlighti­ng local resources and his talented team. Homes featured run the design gamut from a 1800s farmhouse to a mid-century bungalow to a 1990s stacked colonial. By season’s end, the neighborho­od is transforme­d.

“I’m excited to continue sharing my six Casual Luxury design principles with a national audience — and give a glimpse inside my own home, too,” Jennings said.

Each episode features new design challenges in a new home. Viewers become acquainted with each home’s history, get to know the homeowners and follow offsite trips for inspiratio­n.

Episodes include Jennings divulging details of the completed transforma­tions and end with a final reveal.

Directed by Emmy-winning director Christophe­r Panton and created by Mar Jennings, seasons 1 and 2 first aired on ABC’s WTNH receiving overwhelmi­ngly positive response from viewers and critical acclaim, earning a total of five Emmy nomination­s.

The series is produced by S&J Multimedia LCC of Westport, and is currently in production on season three, which is focused around a new group of homes. It is set to air beginning fall 2019.

Season three’s Amazon Prime Video streaming debut date is to be announced.
