HGTV announces bumper new slate of shows as it scrabbles to replace fan favorites after programming bloodbath

Charlie Kawas will front HGTV's new show, Botched Homes, which will premiere in 2026

HGTV has announced four new shows set to premiere in 2026, as well as 400 episodes of House Hunters and House Hunters International.

The huge slate of fresh content comes just months after the cable network canceled several programs in a bloodbath that left many loyal fans disappointed.

In a bid to shake-up its schedule and get viewers back on side, HGTV revealed on Wednesday thatBotched Homes, Neighborhood Watch, World’s Bargain Dream Homes and Property Brothers: Under Pressure – the last three of which are working titles – will debut in the new year.

Botched Homes, helmed by New York City turned Florida contractor Charlie Kawas, is slated for 2026.

Fed up with disastrous work that leads to unsafe, unlivable and unbelievable homes, Charlie will make it his mission to fix what others got horribly wrong in the eight one-hour episodes.

‘Whether it’s inferior craftsmanship, wonky layouts or mind-boggling finishes—think doors and stairs that lead to nowhere, cabinets that don’t open and hideous design choices — Charlie and his team will right the wrongs of shoddy contractors and DIY projects gone awry, bringing function, flow and beauty to clients’ spaces in disrepair,’ reads the official synopsis.

Also premiering on HGTV in 2026 is the new series Neighborhood Watch (working title), which is set to reveal the raw, unfiltered and sometimes shocking footage straight from security cameras, smart doorbells, nanny cams and baby monitors across America.

‘From neighbors and postal workers to uninvited guests and animal visitors, the network will tap into the hilarious, outrageous and downright bizarre moments caught on home surveillance video in each of the 16 half-hour episodes,’ the logline reads.

HGTV’s newest house hunting series will inspire adventurous buyers to dream big and buy low in World’s Bargain Dream Homes (working title).

‘The authentic, entertaining and humorous 12 episodes will 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 synopsis reads.

Real estate powerhouse duo Drew and Jonathan Scott will star in and executive produce a new 14-episode series Property Brothers: Under Pressure.

Also set to air next year, the show will spotlight the dynamic twins 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,’ says the synopsis.

Additionally, House Hunters and its popular spinoff House Hunters International, will bring their quintessential format in nearly 400 fresh half-hour episodes through 2026.

Attracting over 13 million primetime viewers each month, 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.

‘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, US Networks, Warner Bros.
