New York, NY- July, 16, 2014 - America's favorite bidders are back in the business of buying and selling and ready for some intense action on their hunt for the extraordinary. New episodes of A&E's hit original series "Storage Wars," featuring the return of legendary bidder Dave Hester, will begin airing with back-to-back premieres on Tuesday, August 12 at 9PM and 9:30PM ET/PT. Immediately following is the premiere of the new original series "Brandi and Jarrod: Married to the Job," offering viewers a behind-the-scenes look at the lives of long-time couple and dynamic bidding duo from "Storage Wars" Brandi Passante and Jarrod Schulz, at 10PM ET/PT.

"Storage Wars," which follows teams of bidders looking to score big in the high-stakes world of storage auctions, is back with a vengeance. As the weather heats up in Southern California, so do the long-standing rivalries, and with the comeback of 'The Mogul' Dave Hester, the gloves are off and anything goes! This time around the ultimate storage warriors are ready to rumble as they blaze through lockers in hot pursuit of auction gold.

In the new series "Brandi and Jarrod: Married to the Job," viewers get a glimpse of their favorite "Storage Wars" couple outside of the auction game. When the bidding stops, Brandi and Jarrod come home to Orange County, CA where their busy lives revolve around raising two children and managing their second-hand store. After 15 years together, Brandi and Jarrod finally decide to tie the knot, and they approach wedding planning in a way that only they could: with a little love, a lot of bickering and constant detours along the way.

"Storage Wars" is produced by Original Productions, a FremantleMedia Company for A&E Network. Executive producers for Original Productions are Thom Beers, Philip D. Segal and Jeff Conroy. Jeff Bumgarner is co-executive producer. A&E executive producers are Dave Mace and Sean Gottlieb.
