HGTV's Bloodbath: Iconic Shows Axed in Cancellation Spree
HGTV's Shocking Cancellation Spree: Tarek and Heather Rae El Moussa's The Flipping El Moussas and Christina Haack's Christina on the Coast Axed!
The tears are flowing, HGTV fans! The network has just served up a double whammy of cancellations that will leave you reeling. Yes, we're talking about Tarek and Heather Rae El Moussa's The Flipping El Moussas, which was still riding high on its second season, and Christina Haack's Christina on the Coast, which had just wrapped up its sixth series just two months ago!
According to sources close to thescholarlynote.com, both shows have been given the ax by HGTV. Yes, you heard that right - The Flipping El Moussas has come to an end, and Christina on the Coast won't be making a comeback.
But wait, it gets even juicier! In addition to these two popular shows, several other HGTV faves have also been cancelled, including Bargain Block, Married to Real Estate, Farmhouse Fixer, Izzy Does It, and Battle on the Beach. Talk about a bloodbath!
The news has sent shockwaves through the network's fandom, with fans taking to social media to express their outrage and disappointment. "I'm beyond angry with HGTV not bringing back your show," wrote one fan in response to Tarek's latest Instagram post. Another chimed in, "Nooooo! I hate HGTV!" while a third suggested that the El Moussas start their own network.
Meanwhile, Christina Haack has been left reeling after her own show was cancelled. The real estate and flipping expert took to social media to thank fans for their support over the years. But don't worry, Christina - there's always the possibility of a spin-off or a new project in the works!
And in a surprise twist, it seems that The Flip Off, which features exes Tarek, Christina, and Heather Rae El Moussa competing against each other to find, buy, renovate, and flip a house for the biggest financial gain, has been picked up for a second season. Talk about a juicy plotline!
But what's going on behind the scenes at HGTV? An insider who works directly with programming spilled the tea to thescholarlynote.com earlier this month. "Decisions are still being made," they said. "It sucks for everyone involved, but that's the TV business. Everyone understands that. Cable networks are struggling now, and we all have to make smart decisions."
And in a surprising move, former New Kids on the Block singer Jonathan Knight has confirmed that his show, Farmhouse Fixer, has been axed after three seasons. "A lot of you have been asking about the future of Farmhouse Fixer," he said. "I am sad to say HGTV has decided not to move forward with another season. While I'm still processing the reasons that led to their decision, Kristina and I are so grateful for all your support over the past three seasons."
But don't worry, HGTV fans - there's always something new on the horizon! The network has just announced a new series called Junk or Jackpot, hosted by Queer Eye alum Bobby Berk. The show follows collectors who have filled their houses with unusual collectibles and helps them decide whether to keep them or sell them in order to afford much-needed renovations.
So what do you think, HGTV fans? Are you devastated by the cancellations of The Flipping El Moussas and Christina on the Coast? Let us know in the comments!
