HGTV is adding a huge extension to its massively popular “House Hunters” franchise. The network has ordered 400 more episodes of “House Hunters” and “House Hunters International,” keeping the show rolling in originals through 2026. “House Hunters” has been an HGTV staple since its launch in October 1999, and has already produced more than 2,400 episodes. According to the network, the series and “House Hunters International” attract more than 13 million primetime viewers each month. Per HGTV, “the series will offer fans their signature fun and interactive viewing experience when they peek inside three different homes, check out the layout and furnishings, evaluate them and pick which one they think will work best for the new homeowner. ” “House Hunters” is produced by Pie Town Productions, and “House Hunters International” is produced by Leopard USA. (HGTV technically said “nearly 400 episodes” but wouldn’t clarify how close to 400 that actually means — so it could be 399! Or 394! Perhaps 396?) The “House Hunters” pickup was part of another large slate announced Wednesday by HGTV and Warner Bros. Discovery’s chief creative officer, US Networks, Howard Lee. Among the other pickups: “Property Brothers: Under Pressure” (working title), “Botched Homes,” “Neighborhood Watch” (working title) and “World’s Bargain Dream Homes” (working title). A total of 50 episodes have been picked up among the series. “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,” Lee said. HGTV gave a 14-episode order to “Property Brothers: Under Pressure,” starring Drew and Jonathan Scott from their Scott Brothers Entertainment banner. Per the logline, the show will feature the twin brothers “as they help wary buyers grappling with commitment issues make confident, informed decisions for the biggest purchase of their lives. With the emotional and financial stakes at an all-time high, the Scott Brothers will guide clients through the highs and lows of the home buying process—from fiercely competitive markets and sticker shock to personal wish lists and tough compromises—and then incorporate stunning, smart and functional design solutions into renovations that create their dream homes. “ Also announced was an eight-episode order to the one-hour “Botched Homes,” from Monument LLC, which will premiere in 2026. The show features “the most jaw-dropping, head-scratching failed renovations” as they’re corrected by “New York City turned Florida contractor” Charlie Kawas. “Charlie will make it his mission to fix what others got horribly wrong.” “Neighborhood Watch,” from Arrow Media and also coming in 2026, reveals “the raw, unfiltered and sometimes shocking footage straight from security cameras, smart doorbells, nanny cams and baby monitors across America.” HGTV has ordered 16 half-hour episodes. And HGTV gave a 12-episode order to “World’s Bargain Dream Homes,” from Twenty Twenty Television. The show promises to “follow people brave enough to purchase the world’s most affordable properties that also happen to be stunning, turnkey and in desirable locations around the globe, many of which offer incredible cost-saving incentives.” The shows join a fall 2025 slate that includes “My Lottery Dream Home,” “Hoarding for the Holidays,” “Fixer to Fabulous,” “Cheap A$$ Beach Houses,” “White House Christmas 2025” and “My Lottery Dream Home: David’s Happy Ending.” HGTV also has new episodes of “100 Day Dream Home,” “Help! I Wrecked My House” and “Sin City Rehab” in November.
