The HGTV Shake-Up: 7 Fan-Favorite Shows Canceled, Replaced By A Massive 100+ Episode New Slate

The landscape of home renovation television has been dramatically reshaped this year. Following a summer of shocking cancellations that saw fan-favorite series purged from the schedule, HGTV has responded to the massive backlash by announcing a colossal order of over 100 new episodes for its 2025-2026 programming slate. This move signals a significant strategic shift for the network, focusing on high-performing flagship franchises and introducing fresh, high-concept series to revitalize its lineup.

As of today, December 21, 2025, the network is officially moving past the controversy surrounding the sudden end of several beloved shows. The strategy is clear: double down on proven stars and bankable concepts while injecting new energy from established personalities and emerging talent. This massive commitment to new content aims to reassure viewers and recapture the network's reputation for reliable, high-quality home design and renovation entertainment.

The Shocking Seven-Show Purge: A List of HGTV's Canceled Favorites

The controversy that led to HGTV’s massive programming overhaul began with the unceremonious cancellation of at least seven major fan-favorite series in a short period. This sudden "seven-show purge" left viewers and even some hosts reeling, sparking widespread "cancellation backlash" across social media. Network insiders cited a combination of "budget issues," "ratings slumps" for certain time slots, and a strategic decision to "recalibrate programming" as the reasons for the dramatic cuts. The network appears to be consolidating its resources behind its most valuable intellectual property.

Here is a list of the most notable shows confirmed to have been canceled in the 2025 shake-up, along with their hosts:

  • Married to Real Estate: Hosted by Egypt Sherrod and Mike Jackson. This series, which followed the couple’s design and real estate business in Atlanta, was a consistent performer, making its cancellation particularly surprising to fans and the hosts themselves.
  • Bargain Block: Starring Keith Bynum and Evan Thomas. The duo’s work revitalizing Detroit neighborhoods on a tight budget had garnered a dedicated following, and its cancellation was a major blow to viewers who appreciated their unique aesthetic and mission.
  • Christina on the Coast: The solo series of veteran HGTV star Christina Hall (formerly Haack and Anstead). Despite her long history with the network, her flagship show was dropped, though she remains involved in other projects.
  • Farmhouse Fixer: Hosted by New Kids on the Block star Jonathan Knight. The show focused on his passion for restoring historic farmhouses and was noted for its high-quality, detailed renovations.
  • Battle on the Beach: The competitive series featuring multiple HGTV stars, including Tarek El Moussa and Taylor El Moussa, was a summer staple. Its end signals a potential shift away from large-scale, multi-host competition formats.
  • Izzy Does It: A newer series featuring Izzy Battres. Its early cancellation suggests that the network is being ruthless in cutting shows that do not immediately meet high new performance standards.

The decision to end these series was a calculated risk by network executives, clearing the way for a major investment in new and returning content designed to dominate the "renovation television" space for the next two years.

The Massive New Programming Slate: 100+ Episodes of Fresh Content

In a direct response to the "cancellation backlash," HGTV announced a massive greenlight for over 100 new episodes spanning both new and established series. This ambitious "programming slate" is intended to deliver a continuous stream of fresh, high-concept content throughout 2025 and 2026. The strategy is to build on the success of the network's biggest names while giving new stars a chance to shine.

Renewed Flagships and Returning Favorites

The network is heavily investing in its most reliable and beloved franchises, ensuring that the biggest stars remain on the air. These returning series are the foundation of the new schedule:

  • Home Town: Erin and Ben Napier’s flagship show was renewed for multiple new seasons, securing the future of their Laurel, Mississippi-based renovations. Their wholesome, community-focused approach remains a cornerstone of the HGTV brand.
  • 100 Day Dream Home: Brian and Mika Kleinschmidt are back for an extended run, continuing their rapid-fire, high-stakes home-building concept.
  • Fixer to Fabulous: Dave and Jenny Marrs will return with a significant episode order, cementing their status as top-tier talent focused on restoring historic homes in Bentonville, Arkansas.
  • Help! I Wrecked My House: Jasmine Roth’s series, which focuses on saving homeowners from disastrous DIY projects, was also given a new season order, highlighting the enduring popularity of relatable home-improvement challenges.
  • The Flip Off: A notable return is this series featuring former spouses Christina Hall and Tarek El Moussa, indicating that the network is prioritizing bankable star power, even from complicated pairings.
  • Other Renewals: Long-running hits like Love It or List It and the popular Hawaiian-based Renovation Aloha also received new episode pickups, ensuring continuity for fans of diverse renovation styles.

New Series and Emerging Star Power: The Future of HGTV

The "100+ episodes" order also includes several highly anticipated new series that will introduce fresh concepts and put established stars in new settings. This push for "fresh voices and concepts" is the executive team's attempt to evolve the network's offerings.

The most exciting new additions include:

1. Sin City Rehab (Alison Victoria):

Following the cancellation of her previous series, Windy City Rehab, Alison Victoria is making a high-stakes move to Las Vegas. This eight-episode series will follow her as she tackles luxury home renovations in the desert, bringing her signature high-end design to a new, glitzy market. Her return is a clear sign that HGTV is willing to re-invest in its biggest personalities, even after previous programming shifts.

2. Property Brothers: Under Pressure (Drew and Jonathan Scott):

The network’s most valuable assets, Drew and Jonathan Scott, are launching a new 14-episode series that moves beyond their typical formats. This show is rumored to focus on extremely challenging, high-pressure renovations with tight deadlines and massive budgets, aiming to capture a more dramatic, high-stakes feel for their loyal audience.

3. Junk or Jackpot? (Bobby Berk):

In a major talent acquisition, former Queer Eye star Bobby Berk is joining the HGTV family with a new series. While details are still emerging, the show’s concept is described as being a mix of design and treasure hunting, aligning with the network's strategy to diversify its content beyond traditional home flipping and renovation. The show is designed to appeal to a broader audience interested in unique design and repurposing.

The aggressive move to order more than a hundred new episodes is the network’s definitive answer to fan concerns. By securing the future of beloved duos like the Napiers and the Marrs, and simultaneously introducing high-profile new projects from stars like Alison Victoria and Bobby Berk, HGTV is attempting to consolidate its position as the leader in the home and design genre. This massive investment in content ensures that despite the recent shake-ups, "renovation television" will be thriving on the network for years to come.
