HGTV has bolstered its slate of real estate shows by freshening up its House Hunters and House Hunter International series with a giant 400 episode renewal order through 2026. The House Hunters franchise, launched 25 years ago and attracting over 13 million viewers monthly, will return as real estate experts continue to steer potential buyers to local dream property purchases. Botched Homes will see New York City-turned-Florida contractor Charlie Kawas and his crew fix failed renovations in a reality series from producer Mounment and set to debut in 2026. HGTV also ordered 16 half hours of Neighborhood Watch, a home surveillance footage series from Arrow Media also to debut next year. Also upcoming from HGTV is the house hunting series World’s Bargain Dream Homes, where home buyers dream big and buy low in the show from Twenty Twenty Television. And HGTV home reno stars Drew and Jonathan Scott are set to star and executive produce 14 episodes of Property Brothers: Under Pressure from Scott Brothers Entertainment. The new real estate series sees the Scott twins help wary buyers grapple with commitment issues to possibly make the biggest purchase of their lives. “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,” said Howard Lee, chief creative officer, U.S. Networks at Warner Bros. Discovery in a statement. House Hunters is produced by Pie Town Productions, while the spinoff House Hunters International series is produced by Leopard USA.
