HGTV Orders 14 New Series & Pilots

HGTV has greenlit 11 new series and placed three more pilots in production for its 2021-22 programming lineup.

“Our audience loves that we are stretching the home genre without losing the great storytelling that they’ve come to expect from HGTV,” said Jane Latman, president of HGTV. “We continue to break the boundaries of the home genre with unique, buzzy show concepts, celebrated experts and dynamic influencers. If you want to see innovative renovation ideas in action and dream of what you can accomplish in your own home, HGTV is the place for you.”

The network has expanded its offering to include shows covering cleaning, organization, rentals, mansions and family relationships at home. Its latest show order of more than 85 episodes showcases families, business owners, entrepreneurs and dreamers, who will share their experiences of buying, selling and renovating homes.

Among the series that have been added to the HGTV programming pipeline for 2021/2022 is Holmes Family Rescue, which sees contractor Mike Holmes team up with his kids to rescue clients who have nowhere else to turn after living through botched construction jobs.

In Flipping Showdown, Ken and Anita Corsini will invite three teams of flippers to their local market in Atlanta for whom they will purchase three investment properties each and provide the funding for them to design and renovate the homes in six months. Ken and Anita will judge each team, with the flipping team that gets the highest score winning $100,000 and a chance to join the Corsinis in their company.

HGTV’s new series First Home Fix (w/t) will spotlight Austin Coleman and Raisa Kuddus as they help create custom renovations for young newlywed and millennial clients. Moving for Love will follow long-distance relationships as they go through the test of finding their first home together.

In Why the Heck Did I Buy This House? (w/t), San Antonio-based designer and renovator Kim Wolfe will come to the rescue of homeowners who have major buyer’s remorse and make homeowners finally fall in love with their houses. Renovation Remix will see husband and wife design team Kele Dobrinski and Christina Valencia settle the score between couples who have drastically different design preferences to create their perfect dream home. In each episode of Call the Closer, Lauren Risley will help clients break through the barriers that are standing in their way of finding the right house, then guide them through a renovation.

Joe Mazza will ensure his clients don’t move into a risky property in the new series Home Inspector Joe. Alongside designer Noel Gatts, Mazza will help guide house hunters to the perfect home where their budget will cover the repair of high priority safety issues and make their design dreams come true.

HGTV will spotlight out-of-the-ordinary, unique homes in Building Roots with husband and wife duo Ben and Cristi Dozier. The network will give a nod to the trend of upcycling in the new series Renovation Goldmine with Joe and Meg Piercy.

In My Flippin Fortune (wt), HGTV will conduct a house-flipping experiment with two couples, who are both successful house flippers in their respective markets. They will be dropped in an unknown city where the pairs will set out to prove that it’s possible to start out with almost nothing and turn it into a fortune in the world of real estate.

HGTV has numerous development deals in play and has greenlit several pilots for premiere in the next year, including Flip It To the Maccs (w/t) with St. Louis-based brothers Jon and Willie McMiller who transform rundown properties in their hometown.

In Family of Property Love (w/t), the Ferrarini family’s mission is to revitalize Philadelphia’s most outdated properties into modern homes that feature luxurious designs and high-tech upgrades. Revealed with Veronica Valencia will spotlight custom renovations inspired by the unique stories of family ancestry.

“There are so many untapped stories of home and family that still need to be told, and HGTV is searching for them each and every day,” said Latman.
