Get ready for a whirlwind of drama, design, and downright astonishing moments as HGTV prepares to unleash its most explosive lineup yet! The popular home renovation network has just announced a staggering 400 new episodes of its beloved staples, House Hunters and House Hunters International, not to mention four scintillating new shows set to premiere in 2026.

Botched Homes: Where Disaster Meets Redemption

In a bold move to shake up its schedule and win back loyal fans, HGTV is reviving the art of home renovation with Botched Homes. Meet Charlie Kawas, a seasoned contractor from New York City who has traded in his Big Apple roots for sun-kissed Florida. This charismatic hero will take on the most disastrous homes, breathing new life into spaces that were once considered unlivable.

Think wonky layouts, mind-boggling finishes (yes, doors and stairs that lead to nowhere!), and cabinets that refuse to open – Charlie and his team are here to put things right! With a mission to bring function, flow, and beauty back into these forsaken homes, Botched Homes promises to be the most thrilling renovation show in years.

Earlier this month, HGTV announced that Jesse Palmer will host new HGTV series Bachelor Mansion Takeover

Neighborhood Watch: The Surveillance Spectacle

Hold onto your hats, folks, because Neighborhood Watch is about to take the world by storm! This gripping series will delve into the unfiltered, often shocking footage captured on home surveillance cameras, smart doorbells, nanny cams, and baby monitors across America. Get ready for hilarious, outrageous, and downright bizarre moments that will leave you questioning your neighbors' sanity!

With 16 half-hour episodes of raw, uncut footage, Neighborhood Watch is guaranteed to be the most talked-about show of 2026.

World's Bargain Dream Homes: The Ultimate Affordability Challenge

Who says you can't have your cake and eat it too? In World's Bargain Dream Homes (working title), HGTV takes the concept of affordable luxury to new heights. This captivating series follows brave buyers as they scour the globe for the world's most stunning, turnkey properties in desirable locations – often with incredible cost-saving incentives.

Think Costa Rica, think Tuscany, think Bali – the possibilities are endless! With 12 episodes of authentic, entertaining, and humorous storytelling, World's Bargain Dream Homes is the ultimate guide to affordable luxury living.

Property Brothers: Under Pressure

Get ready for a new chapter in the lives of real estate powerhouses Drew and Jonathan Scott! Property Brothers: Under Pressure will see the dynamic twins guiding wary buyers through the highs and lows of the home buying process. With the stakes higher than ever, the Scott brothers will help clients navigate fiercely competitive markets, sticker shock, personal wish lists, and tough compromises – all while incorporating stunning, smart, and functional design solutions into their dream homes.

With 14 episodes of expert renovation know-how and emotional support, Property Brothers: Under Pressure is set to become the go-to show for anyone looking to buy or renovate a home.

The Return of House Hunters and International

And what's a HGTV revamp without a few familiar faces? The beloved duo of House Hunters and its popular spinoff, House Hunters International, will continue to captivate audiences with nearly 400 fresh half-hour episodes through 2026. Fans can expect the same fun, interactive viewing experience they've come to love – peeking inside three different homes, checking out layouts and furnishings, evaluating them, and picking which one they think will work best for the new homeowner.

A Network in Transition

But amidst all this excitement, it's worth noting that HGTV has bid farewell to several fan-favorite shows, including Married to Real Estate, Izzy Does It, Farmhouse Fixer, Bargain Block, Battle on the Beach, Christina on the Coast, and The Flipping El Moussas. Don't worry – these shows may be gone, but their memory will live on in the hearts of loyal fans.

And as for that Bachelor crossover show we mentioned earlier? Bachelor Mansion Takeover is all set to premiere next year, featuring 12 former Bachelor, Bachelorette, Golden Bachelor, and Golden Bachelorette contestants giving the famed property a dramatic makeover. With six episodes of expert renovation skill, this reality TV behemoth is guaranteed to bring the drama – stay tuned!

According to Howard Lee, Chief Creative Officer, US Networks, Warner Bros. Discovery: "With this programming order, HGTV is delivering more of our tried-and-true formats that drive consistent ratings for the network, while also featuring new talent and concepts to engage our devoted fans and attract different audiences."

And there you have it – the ultimate HGTV revamp! So mark your calendars for 2026, folks, because this is going to be a wild ride like no other.
