The Discovery Channel has renewed its series “Pitchmen,” despite the death of one of its two stars, Billy Mays.
The show about the infomercial industry and two of its leading personalities, Mays and Anthony “Sully” Sullivan, has earned a second season, the cable channel announced Wednesday. Discovery says it wants to continue the series because it did well in the ratings, and also “as a tribute to Mays’ legacy.”
Mays died June 28 at his home in Tampa, Fla. The 50-year-old hawker of OxiClean and numerous other products likely suffered heart failure, an autopsy found.
