7 HGTV Shows Getting A Massive 100+ Episode Order After Shocking Cancellations
The landscape of home renovation television is undergoing a dramatic transformation this December 23, 2025. Following a wave of controversial show cancellations that sparked significant backlash from loyal viewers, HGTV has unveiled an unprecedented programming strategy: a massive order of over 100 new episodes across a mix of returning fan favorites and brand-new series. This move is a clear attempt by the network to quell the fan outrage and solidify its position as the premier destination for all things home improvement, design, and real estate. The decision signals a strategic shift, doubling down on proven star power and highly-rated formats.
The network's recent cuts, which allegedly included beloved shows like Married to Real Estate, Bargain Block, and Farmhouse Fixer, left a void that the network is now rushing to fill with an overwhelming volume of fresh content. This colossal episode order, spanning the 2025 and 2026 programming slate, is a direct response to the intense pressure from viewers who felt their favorite hosts and renovation styles were being unjustly pushed aside. The new lineup focuses on high-stakes, high-drama, and high-design concepts, promising to deliver the renovation fix fans have been desperately craving. The following list details the key series receiving this monumental renewal.
The Massive Renewal: 7 Series Anchoring HGTV's 100+ Episode Commitment
The core of HGTV's new strategy is to inject a huge volume of content into its schedule, assuring viewers that their favorite stars aren't going anywhere. This monumental order of over 100 episodes is spread across both established hits and promising new ventures. The focus is on series with proven ratings and hosts who have genuine, long-standing connections with the audience, a clear lesson learned from the recent cancellation controversy.
Here are the seven key series that are the foundation of HGTV's massive 2025-2026 programming commitment:
- The Flip Off (Season 2): Arguably the most anticipated renewal, this series starring ex-spouses Christina Haack and Tarek El-Moussa has been officially picked up for a second season. The show’s high-drama, competitive format—pitting the two stars against each other in renovation battles—proved to be a massive ratings driver, making its renewal a priority for the network’s future.
- Home Town: The flagship series featuring Erin and Ben Napier continues to be a cornerstone of HGTV's lineup. The network is showing continued love for the Mississippi-based duo by renewing their hit series, ensuring more heartwarming, small-town renovations are on the way. The Napiers' authentic charm and focus on historic preservation resonate deeply with the audience.
- 100 Day Dream Home: The dynamic husband-and-wife team, Mika and Brian Kleinschmidt, will continue their mission to build custom dream homes in a breakneck 100-day timeframe. Their unique, fast-paced format and undeniable chemistry have secured their position in the new slate, promising more rapid-fire construction and dramatic reveals.
- Love It or List It: This long-running favorite, featuring designer Hilary Farr and real estate agent David Visentin, is receiving a substantial episode order. The timeless conflict—will the homeowners renovate their current home or move?—remains a powerful draw for viewers, and the renewal guarantees the show's format will continue to anchor the schedule.
- Fixer to Fabulous: Starring Dave and Jenny Marrs, this series focusing on revitalizing historic homes in Bentonville, Arkansas, has also been greenlit for a significant renewal. Their family-focused approach and commitment to community projects have made them a beloved fixture on the network.
- Renovation Aloha: Following the success of its debut, this Hawaiian-based renovation show is getting a massive episode boost. The series, which captures the unique challenges and stunning results of renovating properties in paradise, taps into the aspirational travel and design market, offering a fresh, sun-drenched take on the renovation genre.
- Sin City Rehab: A new series featuring renovation expert Alison Victoria, who gained fame on other HGTV shows, is part of the massive new order. The show will focus on high-stakes, glamorous renovations in Las Vegas, signaling the network's desire to incorporate more high-end, dramatic design into its lineup. This is a clear attempt to bring back a star whose previous work was highly popular.
The Backlash That Triggered the Massive Programming Shift
The decision to order over 100 new episodes is directly tied to the intense public outcry that followed a recent series of show cancellations. In a move that shocked many, HGTV reportedly canceled several fan-favorite series in a short period, including the popular Married to Real Estate and the highly unique Bargain Block. The stars of these shows often took to social media to share the news, leading to an immediate and fierce reaction from their dedicated fan bases.
Fans were "fuming" and "outraged" over the network's perceived shift in focus, with many feeling that the network was moving away from the authentic, relatable renovation stories that made it popular. This massive, sudden episode order is now being widely viewed as a strategic course correction. It is a tacit acknowledgment of the fans' power and the need to retain the star-driven content that has defined the network for years. The message is clear: HGTV is listening, and it is investing heavily in the personalities and formats that generate high engagement.
HGTV's New Strategy: Doubling Down on Star Power and Proven Formats
The new programming slate reveals a clear strategic direction for HGTV moving into 2026. Instead of spreading resources across many smaller, newer concepts, the network is concentrating its budget on massive episode orders for a select, high-performing group of shows. This approach minimizes risk and maximizes the return on investment for established talent like the Napiers, the Kleinschmidts, and the newly reunited duo of Haack and El-Moussa.
The network is also diversifying its offerings within the renovation genre, moving beyond simple house flipping to include:
- High-Stakes Competition: Exemplified by the return of The Flip Off, which capitalizes on the drama between its stars.
- Aspirational Lifestyle: Seen in the expansion of shows like Renovation Aloha and the new series Cheap A$$ Beach Houses, which offer viewers a glimpse into vacation-home design and exotic locales.
- Luxury and Glamour: The introduction of Sin City Rehab and the focus on high-end renovations in shows like I Wrecked My House indicates a push toward more dramatic, high-budget design reveals.
By heavily renewing these series and introducing new, star-driven concepts, HGTV aims to create a continuous pipeline of fresh content that will keep viewers tuned in and minimize the lingering resentment from the recent cancellations. This "more is more" approach is a bold, multi-million-dollar bet on the enduring popularity of its biggest names and the foundational appeal of home renovation television. The full impact of this programming shift will become clear as the new episodes begin to air throughout late 2025 and into 2026, redefining the look and feel of the network’s prime-time schedule.
