HGTV Fans Want to This See Kind of Show Return to the Network
HGTV's 2026 schedule favors celebrity-driven shows, while fans urge a return to affordable home renovations with budgets under $2,000, reflecting viewer demand for practical content.
- So far in 2026, HGTV's lineup mixes returning shows with new series such as Bachelor Mansion Takeover and Wild Vacation Rentals.
- HGTV canceled several home renovation series last year, including Bargain Block and Farmhouse Fixer, and host Jonathan Knight urged a return to gardening shows shortly after Farmhouse Fixer ended.
- Fans on Reddit launched a thread titled 'Bring Back Budget-Friendly HGTV Shows' criticizing many episodes for costing $100,000 or more, while recalling $2000 projects like Design on a Dime.
- The Reddit thread drew dozens of comments, and some favorites like Love It or List It, Castle Impossible, and Renovation Aloha are returning for new seasons.
- Demand for practical, affordable projects remains among long-time viewers as renters and small-home viewers seek programming focused on practical, small-scale projects while social media creators fill the gap with low-cost transformations.
