HGTV cancels yet another beloved show as network continues to slash content

Battle on the Beach is the latest HGTV to be cancelled as the network continues to cull its programming.

Just days after it was announced that Farmhouse Fixer, Bargain Block, Married to Real Estate, and Izzy Does It have been axed, Battle on the Beach co-host Alison Victoria revealed that her series has not been renewed for a fifth season.

Victoria, who co-presented the beachfront property renovation series with Ty Pennington and Taniya Nayak, broke the news that the program hadn’t been renewed on her Pap Smear podcast.

Speaking on the latest episode, per Deadline, she said: ‘I did a show called Battle on the Beach. I love that show. It was so fun and funny.

‘And then all of a sudden, I watched the episode, I’m like, well, where’d all that [great content] go?

‘I get it, it’s a lot of content to try to put into 42 minutes, but where is it? Where’s the great editing?

‘You’ll lose a show that way. I truly believe that,’ she continued.

Sharing news of the show’s fate, Victoria added: ‘Battle on the Beach did not get picked back up, which is sad, because it was like adult spring break.’

The series was helmed by Alison Victoria, Ty Pennington and Taniya Nayak

Battle on the Beach premiered in July 2021 and saw skilled teams of up-and-coming flippers hit the beach to renovate identical beachfront properties.

The teams would compete to try and impress the judges with their home remodels and walk away with a cash prize.

News of Battle on the Beach’s axe follows cancellations of Farmhouse Fixer, Married to Real Estate, Izzy Does It and Bargain Block.

Earlier this week, an HGTV source told Royale that more cancellations are coming.

‘We had to stop the bleeding,’ said the senior insider, who claimed that revenues were underperforming and the network needed to act.

‘We were hemorrhaging money. So in order to stop the bleeding, we had to have a bloodbath. It was calculated cuts to make things make sense, financially.’

‘Decisions are still being made,’ said the insider, who works directly with programming.

‘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.’

Battle on the Beach premiered in July 2021 and aired a total of four seasons

Farmhouse Fixer host Jonathan Knight confirmed that his show, co-presented by Kristina Crestin, was cancelled 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. Television has been so incredibly fun for us.

‘We are so proud of what we created together and look forward to sharing what’s next for us.’
